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

backgroundHepatic heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) accelerate the clearance of PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9). We tested the hypothesis that free- and LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-bound PCSK9 forms have different HSPG-mediated clearance kinetics.

methodsMetabolic and turnover studies were performed after administration of free- and LDL-bound PCSK9 to 2 HSPG knockout mouse models: (1) Global knockout of syndecan-1 (

resultsThe clearance of both free- and LDL-bound PCSK9 followed a 2-phase decay behavior comprising a fast and a slow phase. The more notorious effect of HSPG deletion was on the slow phase: the clearance of free-PCSK9 was faster in

conclusionsThe clearance rate of plasma LDL-bound PCSK9 is slower than the clearance rate of its free form. The HSPG syndecan-1 modestly contributes to PCSK9 clearance through an LDLR-independent pathway.
