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

Dyslipidemia is a well-known risk factor in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. VLDL plays a crucial role in maintaining lipid homeostasis; however, even minor fluctuations in its production, intracellular trafficking, and secretion can contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis. Fenofibrate is an FDA-approved drug that effectively lowers plasma triglycerides and VLDL-associated cholesterol while simultaneously increasing HDL levels. Although fenofibrate is a known PPARα agonist with several proposed mechanisms for its lipid-altering effects, its impact on the intracellular trafficking of VLDL has not yet been investigated. We observed that treatment of HepG2 cells with 50 µM of fenofibrate resulted in a significant reduction in VLDL secretion, as evidenced by a significant decrease in the secretion of
