In-hospital and mid-term follow-up of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and target-goal attainment among patients with acute cerebral infarction: a retrospective study.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate the baseline and six-month follow-up data of the main lipid indices as well as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target goal attainment in accordance with the current guidelines among patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).
methodsOne thousand ninety-nine patients were consecutively enrolled from January 2021 to December 2022 and divided into ACI, old cerebral infarction (OCI), and control groups. General data [sex, age, body mass index (BMI), medications, smoking status, disease history, etc.], baseline data, and six-month follow-up main laboratory data were collected and analyzed. ACI patients were grouped into dyslipidemia and normal groups according to the lipid management guidelines of the European, American, and Chinese populations. Statistical methods were used to screen for possible predictors of dyslipidemia.
resultsPatients with ACI or OCI had higher total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C levels than did the control group (all P < 0.05). According to European (94.7%, 89.0% and 13.4%, P < 0.01), American (94.7% vs. 67.7% vs. 45.9%, P < 0.001) and Chinese (85.1% vs. 59.1% vs. 18.6%, P < 0.001) standards, the proportion of dyslipidemia in the ACI group was greater than that in the OCI and control groups. According to European and American standards, increases in BMI and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are predictors of dyslipidemia in ACI patients. According to Chinese standards, increases in BMI, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, and eGFRs are independent predictors of dyslipidemia in ACI patients. The 6-month follow-up of the main lipid levels revealed that among the ACI group, TC, LDL-C and triglyceride(TG) levels (4.86 vs. 3.79, P < 0.001; 2.98 vs. 2.01, P < 0.001; 1.46 vs. 1.20, P < 0.001) and the proportion of dyslipidemia decreased significantly in accordance with European/American and Chinese standards (86.8% vs. 64.6%, P = 0.015; 97.2% vs. 84.7%, P = 0.012).
conclusionThese results revealed that lipid management is still not optimal for patients with ACI. More attention should be given to ACI patients with elevated BMI, eGFR, and HbA1c values, which could lead to more individualized lipid management. Although the main lipid levels decreased significantly 6 months after discharge with lipid-lowering therapy, there is still a long way to go to enable more ACI patients to meet the guideline-recommended LDL-C target goal.
