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 mechanism of apolipoprotein (apo) CIII-induced hypertriglyceridemia remains uncertain. We crossed apoCIII transgenic and apoE gene knockout (apoE0) mice, and observed severe hypertriglyceridemia with plasma triglyceride levels of 4,521+/-6, 394 mg/dl vs. 423+/-106 mg/dl in apoE0 mice, P < 0.00001 for log(triglycerides [TG]). Cholesterols were 1,181+/-487 mg/dl vs. 658+/-151 mg/dl, P < 0.0001. Lipoprotein fractionation showed a marked increase in triglyceride-enriched chylomicrons+VLDL. This increase was limited to the lowest density (chylomicrons and Sf 100-400) subfractions. Intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL)+LDL increased moderately, and HDL decreased. There was no significant increase in triglyceride production in apoCIII transgenic/apoE0 mice. The clearance of VLDL triglycerides, however, was significantly decreased. Lipoprotein lipase in postheparin plasma was elevated, but activation studies suggested LPL inhibition by both apoCIII transgenic and apoCIII transgenic/apoE0 plasma. ApoCIII overexpression also produced a marked decrease in VLDL glycosaminoglycan binding which was independent of apoE. The predominant mechanism of apoCIII-induced hypertriglyceridemia appears to be decreased lipolysis at the cell surface. The altered lipoprotein profile that was produced also allowed us to address the question of the direct atherogenicity of chylomicrons and large VLDL. Quantitative arteriosclerosis studies showed identical results in both apoCIII transgenic/apoE0 and apoE0 mice, supporting the view that very large triglyceride-enriched particles are not directly atherogenic.
