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

On average, LDL particles are the most populous lipoprotein in serum under fasting conditions. For many reasons, it has been the primary target of lipid-lowering guidelines around the world. In the past 30 years, we have witnessed remarkable changes in each iteration of dyslipidaemia guidelines, with LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) targets becoming lower and lower among patients at high and very high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The world over, goal attainment rates are low, and hence, ASCVD prevalence remains unacceptably high. Inadequate LDL-C lowering is a major issue in contemporary cardiovascular (CV) medicine. Another issue that vexes even the most astute clinician is that of 'residual risk', meaning the excess risk that remains even after LDL-C is appropriately reduced. In recent years, an important new component of residual risk has emerged: triglyceride-enriched lipoproteins or remnant lipoproteins. These precursors to LDL particles can assume outsized importance among patients with derangements in triglyceride metabolism (e.g. genetic variants, insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus) and may be more atherogenic than LDL species. Consequently, to reduce total risk for acute CV events, the time has come to include the entire spectrum of apoB-containing lipoproteins in approaches to both risk evaluation and treatment.
