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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current status of lipid-lowering therapy utilization and lipid goal attainment in women. We focus on lipid-lowering therapy in individuals with and without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, as well as familial hypercholesterolemia. Additionally, this review aims to explore the underlying mechanisms driving these sex differences and to identify existing knowledge gaps in this area. RECENT

findingsDespite the proven efficacy of lipid-lowering therapy in both sexes, real-world studies indicate that women with comparable risk profiles are less likely than men to receive these treatments. Furthermore, women who are prescribed statins typically receive lower-intensity regimens than men and are less likely to achieve guideline-recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol goals. Despite advancements in lipid-lowering therapies, women compared to men, are systematically undertreated. This difference is influenced by patient-related, physician-related, and societal factors.
