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

introductionCurrent European guidelines recommend treatment with lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) to a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target of < 70 mg/dl for patients at very high risk. LDL-C target attainment and use of LLTs in these patients in Greece is not known. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe Dyslipidemia International Study (DYSIS) II was a multicenter observational study. The coronary heart disease (CHD) cohort was divided into two groups based on treatment status (on LLT for ≥ 3 months or not on LLT). The acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cohort was evaluated at the time of admission and again 120 ±15 days after admission.

resultsIn the CHD cohort (

conclusionsThe LDL-C target attainment by very high risk patients in Greece is suboptimal. Increasing the statin dose or combining it with non-statins may improve target value attainment.
