Article in Expert review of cardiovascular therapy, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02428374 (Role of Innate and Adaptive Immunity After Acute Myocardial Infarction BATTLE-AMI Study), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

The Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary Prevention: An Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin (JUPITER) study was the first large-scale, prospective study to examine the benefits of statin therapy in subjects with elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein but with low-to-normal LDL-cholesterol levels, who were not qualified for lipid-lowering treatment according to the current guidelines for primary prevention. The JUPITER study aimed to determine whether rosuvastatin 20 mg daily would reduce the rate of first major cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina or arterial revascularization. Rosuvastatin reduced LDL-cholesterol levels by 50% and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein by 37%. Compared with placebo, the combined primary end point was reduced in 44% (p < 0.00001), and total mortality in 20% (p = 0.02). The trial confirmed the relationship between the rates of major cardiovascular events with both high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and LDL-cholesterol levels achieved after statin treatment. Interestingly, this was the first large, prospective statin trial to show benefit in the reduction of venous thromboembolism.
