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

The 2026 ACC/AHA Multisociety Guideline marks a major shift in dyslipidemia management, extending the traditional LDL-C-centered approach to include non-HDL-C, ApoB, lipoprotein(a), triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, inherited lipid disorders, and severe hypertriglyceridemia. The introduction of PREVENT-ASCVD, the renewed use of explicit lipid targets, and the structured integration of risk enhancers and coronary artery calcium support a more individualized approach to cardiovascular prevention. This review critically examines the guideline's main innovations, with particular attention to the distinction between recommendations supported by cardiovascular outcome evidence and those relying mainly on observational data, surrogate endpoints, or extrapolation. It also compares the US framework with the 2025 ESC/EAS Focused Update, highlighting growing agreement on LDL-C goals but persistent differences in risk estimation, imaging, biomarkers, and treatment pathways. Finally, we discuss unresolved issues involving implementation, adherence, access, cost, health equity, inclisiran outcomes, and emerging lipoprotein(a)-lowering therapies. The guideline's impact will depend on translating greater precision into timely, feasible, and equitable care.
