1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundApolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) is a major component of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and plays a critical role in reverse cholesterol transport. Dynamic changes in ApoA1 levels may be associated with major adverse cardiovascular events. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ApoA1 trajectories over three early assessments.

methodsParticipants in the Chin-Shan Community Cardiovascular Cohort with dyslipidemia and receiving three early ApoA1 assessments were enrolled. Group-based multivariate trajectory modeling was used to classify participants into distinct trajectories after multivariable adjustment. The follow-up duration was from April 1990 to August 2022, and the long-term outcomes of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and death outcomes were evaluated.

resultsA total of 1,080 participants were included (median [interquartile range] age 66.14 [57.93-75.04] years, 43.2% males). Participants were classified into four ApoA1 trajectories: Trajectory 1 (low-level persistence pattern); Trajectory 2 (fall-then-rise pattern); Trajectory 3 (rise-then-fall pattern); and Trajectory 4 (elevated stable pattern). The cumulative incidence of MACE was ranked as Trajectory 4 (7.9%) < Trajectory 2 (9.3%) < Trajectory 3 (9.4%) < Trajectory 1 (12.7%). Comparing to Trajectory 4, both Trajectory 1 and Trajectory 2 had significantly higher risks of MACE (Trajectory 1: hazard ratio [HR] = 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-3.86; Trajectory 2: HR = 2.38, 95% CI 1.03-5.48). For cardiovascular death, similar results were present. There were no significant differences in composite outcome, all-cause death, non-cardiovascular death across ApoA1 trajectories.

conclusionThe trajectory changes of ApoAI levels significantly influences MACE risk during long-term follow-up, particularly in the low-stable and J-shaped trajectories. Dynamic monitoring of ApoAI may serve as a valuable tool for early risk stratification in high-risk populations, facilitating more individualised interventions.
