Statin Use in Special Populations for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Adults.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewOutcome benefits for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) use in the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are well established and yet, statins remain underutilized with only half of eligible individuals receiving them among certain vulnerable populations. This review critically examines available data to provide a summary of the current evidence for statin use in select populations. RECENT
findingsLipid management can be more complex in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), organ transplants, metabolic dysfunction associated with steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Statins are generally safe and effective to reduce the burden of ASCVD among these highly heterogeneous groups of patients and should be considered with careful attention to their concomitant disease state. Herein, we focus on appropriate statin use in these challenging to treat conditions, their relationship with increased ASCVD risk, and approaches to statin use for ASCVD risk reduction. Although further research is needed to define optimal therapy in select high risk groups for ASCVD prevention, statins are proven to be clinically efficacious, safe, and cost-effective for ASCVD prevention, warranting greater efforts to increase their use.
