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

The objective of this work was to study the lipid profile (LDL, TC, TG, and HDL) over 2 years in patients with hyperlipidemia in a real-world clinical setting and to describe the dynamical trajectory of lipid profile change in response to lipid-lowering treatment (Zhenzhu Tiaozhi capsule (FTZ) vs. general lipid-lowering treatment, i.e., statins, fibrates, and Xuezhikang). We conducted a retrospective study that included people aged ≥18 years with hyperlipidemia that initiated lipid-lowering treatment between January 2010 and December 2020. Demographic, diagnosis, and laboratory data were retrieved from hospital's electronic medical records, including hospital information system (HIS) and the laboratory information system (LIS). Follow-up trajectories of lipid profile were plotted in a generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) with smooth splines. A total of 839 patients with hyperlipidemia were included. Within 2 years, LDL, TC, and TG descended steadily and gently in the FTZ group (
