Association of high lipoprotein (a) level with carotid atherosclerosis and all-cause mortality.
Article in American journal of preventive cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Lipoprotein (a) Lp(a) is a genetically inherited low-density lipoprotein like particle with proinflammatory, prothrombotic and proatherogenic properties. Current guidelines recommend at least one-time measurement of Lp(a) in cardiovascular risk assessment in each adult person's lifetime. Aims: The present study evaluates the association between exposure to a high circulating level of Lp(a) (≥50mg/dl or ≥125nmol/L) and atherosclerosis and all-cause of death after a very long-term follow-up. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 11,990 subjects admitted to the department of preventive cardiology at Toulouse University Hospital, Rangueil, France and who underwent at least one Lp (a) measurement between September 1995 and December 2023. The living status (alive or dead) of each of study's participants was assessed by March 2024. The study population was divided into two groups: first, according to Lp (a) level (normal versus high circulating Lp (a) level), and second, according to the living status. Results: High-Lp(a) level group includes 3195 participants. They were significantly more women (47.5 % vs.41.4 %), non-obese (89.1 % vs.84.7 %), sportier (71 % vs. 68.1 %) and normotensive (70.5 % vs. 67.6 %). The adjusted logistic regression on traditional cardiovascular risk factors reveal a positive association between High Lp(a) level and atherogenic findings on doppler ultrasound of carotid arteries [ORa = 1.308;95 %CI(1.182-1.447), Conclusion: Long-term exposure to high Lp(a) is a predictor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but not significantly associated with risk of death from any cause.
