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

Enlicitide (MK-0616) is an oral proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. We conducted the first systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy and safety of enlicitide across randomized controlled trials enrolling adults with hypercholesterolemia or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). The primary outcome was the baseline-to-endpoint percentage change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); secondary outcomes included apolipoprotein B (ApoB), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], and safety. Four randomized controlled trials involving 3894 participants were included. Enlicitide achieved a substantial reduction in LDL-C (mean difference [MD]: -55.78 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -61.15 to -50.42;
