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

A large body of evidence from numerous, well-controlled, randomized trials demonstrates that treatment with statins reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although these observations are important and have resulted in the adoption of standard of care approaches to the management of CVD risk, they do not tell the whole story. When reviewing these landmark trials it is clear that on average two thirds of events are not prevented. This leads to the evaluation of risk beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This review focuses on the association of low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and increased CVD risk, the published trials that study the effect of raising HDL cholesterol on CVD outcomes, and the novel approaches toward HDL cholesterol raising that are on the horizon.
