Impact of Sex Differences on Lipids and Statin Utilization.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of the reviewHypercholesterolemia is a significant and modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), with Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) being the primary target for lipid-lowering therapies in both primary and secondary prevention. This review aims to explore the efficacy of statin therapy in women, its safety and application during pregnancy, and treatment disparities that contribute to undertreatment of dyslipidemia in women. RECENT
findingsStatins has demonstrated efficacy in reducing LDL-C and CVD risk in women. However, women are less likely to achieve LDL-C targets compared to men, largely due to undertreatment and delays in initiating therapy, often influenced by sex-specific factors. The unique considerations of lipid management during pregnancy, including suspension of statin therapy, present additional challenges in achieving optimal lipid control in high-risk women. Evidence also points to systemic disparities in healthcare delivery and treatment allocation, further exacerbating undertreatment of dyslipidemia among women. While LDL-C lowering remains a cornerstone of CVD prevention, women face distinct challenges in achieving lipid goals due to biological, clinical, and healthcare disparities. Addressing these barriers, including improving timely initiation of statins and addressing gaps in care during pregnancy, is essential to enhance the dyslipidemia management and reduce CVD risk in women.
