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

Based on pathophysiological findings Lp(a) is considered to be a cardiovascular risk factor. The Göttingen Risk Incidence and Prevalence Study (GRIPS) provides the possibility to evaluate this impact of Lp(a) on the basis of a large prospective cohort study. GRIPS included 6002 men, aged 40-59.9 years at baseline. Data of a 5 year follow-up period is now available for > 95% of the study participants. Multivariate logistic regression models for the estimation of MI risk confirm Lp(a) as an important risk factor, ranking fifth behind LDL cholesterol, family history of MI, plasma fibrinogen and HDL cholesterol (inversely related). The GRIPS data strongly support strategies for the identification and treatment of persons at increased MI risk which focus on LDL cholesterol. However, Lp(a) and fibrinogen have to be seriously considered as additional risk factors and should be included in diagnostic panels for the estimation of MI risk.
