Distinct triglyceride-associated lipid profiles in coronary artery ectasia and ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm: A 10-year retrospective single-center case-control study.
Article in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
ObjectiveCoronary artery ectasia (CAE) and ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) are vascular dilative disorders with unclear lipid profiles. We compared lipid parameters among patients with CAE, ATAA, and controls, focusing on triglycerides (TG).MethodsThis retrospective single-center case-control study included 490 patients with CAE, 490 with ATAA, and 490 controls from January 2016 to December 2025. Lipid associations with CAE and ATAA were assessed using multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analyses.ResultsCompared with controls, CAE patients had higher TG and lower HDL-C, whereas ATAA patients had higher lp(a), lower TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C. In fully adjusted models, TG was independently associated with CAE but not ATAA. Each 1-SD increase in TG was associated with higher odds of CAE (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.34-1.91), with a graded increase across TG quartiles (p for trend <0.001) and a non-linear dose-response pattern.ConclusionsCAE and ATAA show distinct lipid profiles. Elevated TG is independently associated with CAE, but not consistently with ATAA, suggesting different triglyceride-related metabolic patterns in coronary and aortic dilative disorders.
