A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Ethyl-Ester Omega-3 Fatty Acid in Taiwanese Hypertriglyceridemic Patients.
Trial report in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03216057 (Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Supplementation on Hypertriglyceridemia in Pediatric Patients With Obesity. A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial.), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
aimInformation regarding the effects of omega-3 fatty acid on hypertriglyceridemic patients in Chinese is still limited. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Omacor
methodsA multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study in adults with hypertriglyceridemia was conducted. After a five-week diet lead in period patients with triglycerides =200-1000 mg/dL were randomized to receive Omacor
resultsA total of 253 Taiwanese patients were randomized, of which 65.6% (166) were men. At the end of the treatment, the percentage change in triglyceride serum levels in both the Omacor
