Walking the VLDL tightrope in cardiometabolic diseases.
Review in Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), a triglyceride-rich lipoprotein secreted by hepatocytes, is pivotal for supplying peripheral tissues with fatty acids for energy production. As if walking on a tightrope, perturbations in the balance of VLDL metabolism contribute to cardiometabolic dysfunction, promoting pathologies such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Despite the advent of lipid-lowering therapies, including statins and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, risks for cardiovascular events persist. With limitations to currently available CVD therapeutics and no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment for MASLD, this review summarizes the current understanding of VLDL metabolism that sheds light on novel therapeutic avenues to pursue for cardiometabolic disorders.
