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

Obicetrapib, a next-generation cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor, is emerging as a potent therapeutic option to address residual cardiovascular risk in patients not achieving optimal outcomes with existing lipid-lowering therapies, such as statins, ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors. Many high-risk individuals fail to meet recommended LDL cholesterol targets, and up to 40% experience recurrent cardiovascular events, highlighting the need for novel interventions. This review consolidates the evidence from Phase I-III trials (including TULIP, ROSE, BROADWAY, BROOKLYN and TANDEM) and meta-analyses. Take together, the results demonstrate that obicetrapib significantly reduces LDL cholesterol by 30-50%, apolipoprotein B by 20-30% and lipoprotein(a) by as much as 40-50%, while elevating HDL cholesterol levels by more than 100%. The average LDL cholesterol reduction was 0.92 mmol/l (35.4 mg/dl), with amplified effects when combined with ezetimibe. Obicetrapib achieves up to 97% inhibition of CETP activity and maintains a favourable safety profile. Additional metabolic benefits include decreased HbA
