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 individual effects of dietary cholesterol and fat saturation on plasma lipoprotein concentrations were determined in an ethnically diverse population of normolipidemic young men (52 Caucasian, 32 non-Caucasian). The experimental diets contained approximately 200 or 600 mg/d of cholesterol, 36-38% of calories as fat, and high or low proportions of saturated and polyunsaturated fat (polyunsaturated/saturated fat ratio approximately 0.8 vs 0.3). At the lower cholesterol intake, the high saturated fat diet had only a modest effect on LDL cholesterol in Caucasians (+ 6 mg/dl-1) and none in non-Caucasians. 600 mg cholesterol with high saturated fat led to a substantial mean increase in LDL cholesterol, which was significantly greater in Caucasian than in non-Caucasian subjects (+ 31 mg/dl vs 16 mg/dl, P < 0.005). 600 mg cholesterol with increased polyunsaturated fat gave a mean LDL increase of 16 mg/dl, lower than found when the same high cholesterol intake was coupled with increased saturated fat. Variation in cholesterol rather than the proportions of saturated and polyunsaturated fat had the most influence on LDL-cholesterol levels. Among non-Caucasians it was the only significant factor.
