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

Insulin resistance with the development of diabetes or metabolic syndrome is associated with characteristic lipid abnormalities and an increased likelihood of cardiovascular events. This review examines the rationale and clinical trial evidence for the benefit of lipid drug therapy in the presence of these related high-risk conditions. In particular, the results of the more recent statin trials are discussed and contrasted with evidence from trials with fibrates, which, although fewer in number, appear to show that this particular therapy has selective benefit for the overweight individual with diabetes or features of the metabolic syndrome.
