Cholesterol Management Gaps Among Patients With Established Coronary Artery Disease Hospitalized for Acute Coronary Events.
Article in JACC. Advances, 2026. 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
backgroundSuboptimal cholesterol management in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may contribute to future cardiovascular events and increased health care utilization and costs.
objectivesThe objectives of the study was to assess lipid-lowering medication use and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in adults with CAD hospitalized for acute coronary events.
methodsWe analyzed adults ≥18 years of age with CAD hospitalized for myocardial infarction or unstable angina in 2023 to 2024 in the Get With The Guidelines-CAD registry. Evidence-based lipid-lowering medication was defined as statin therapy. A secondary composite definition was use of statins, ezetimibe, or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors. LDL-C thresholds examined were <70 mg/dL (primary), <100 mg/dL, and <55 mg/dL (secondary).
resultsAmong 34,003 patients (mean age 68 years, 71% male, 73% White), 68.4% were using a statin at admission, whereas 71.1% were using statins, ezetimibe, or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors. Among 23,558 patients with documented LDL-C at admission, 42.6% had LDL-C <70 mg/dL, including 50.2% and 25.4% of those using and not using statins, respectively (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] associated with statin use: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.84-2.08). Women were less likely than men to have LDL-C <70 mg/dL (aPR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.81-0.85 and 0.79; 95% CI: 0.70-0.89 among those using and not using statins, respectively). Black patients using statins were less likely to have an LDL-C <70 mg/dL than their White counterparts (aPR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.65-0.75). In secondary analyses, 67.7% and 25.4% of patients had an LDL-C <100 mg/dL and <55 mg/dL, respectively.
conclusionsTargeted quality improvement initiatives are needed to address gaps in ambulatory cholesterol management.
