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

Severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG; triglyceride [TG] 500-879 mg/dL) and extreme hypertriglyceridemia (eHTG; TG ≥880 mg/dL), are risk-enhancing factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and acute pancreatitis, yet little is known about routine TG monitoring. This study characterized real-world frequency and patterns of TG testing and results among adults with sHTG/eHTG. Among 1.8 M adults, first observed TG was 500-879 for 0.7% and ≥880 for 0.2%. During mean follow-up of 27 months, 38% of patients with first TG 500-879 or ≥880 had one test, and among those with ≥2 tests, mean interval between first/second tests was ≥244 days. Among patients with first TG 500-879 and ≥3 tests, second TG was ≥500 for 26% and all three TGs were ≥500 for 11%. Among patients with first TG ≥880 and ≥3 tests, second TG was ≥500 for 46% and all three TGs were ≥500 for 30%. Findings suggest that follow-up TG testing is suboptimal, and TG results are persistently high for many patients with sHTG/eHTG.
