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
objectiveRosuvastatin plus ezetimibe improves the lipid-lowering effect through different mechanisms of action. This study intended to compare the efficacy and safety of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of rosuvastatin/ezetimibe vs. rosuvastatin alone in hypercholesterolemia patients.
methodsROSE-CH (ROSuvastatin and Ezetimibe in Chinese Hypercholesterolemia patients) was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, positive drug-controlled, superiority-tested phase III clinical trial; 743 patients were randomized into rosuvastatin/ezetimibe 10/10 mg, 5/10 mg, and 2.5/10 mg groups, as well as rosuvastatin 10 mg and 5 mg groups at a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio. A total of 143, 127, 263, and 137 patients had low, intermediate, high, and very-high baseline atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risks. The study period spanned from December 24, 2021, to December 6, 2022.
resultsEfficacy and safety assessments were conducted in 670 and 696 patients. Percentage change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from baseline to week (W)12 was greater in the rosuvastatin/ezetimibe 10/10 mg group vs. rosuvastatin 10 mg group [least-squares means (LSmean): -51.48% vs. -42.47%], rosuvastatin/ezetimibe 5/10 group vs. rosuvastatin 5 mg group (LSmean: -50.08% vs. -40.17%), and rosuvastatin/ezetimibe 2.5/10 mg group vs. the rosuvastatin 5 mg group (LSmean: -48.47% vs. -40.17%) (all P < 0.001). The same trend was observed for the percentage change in LDL-C from baseline to W4 and W8 (all P < 0.001). In patients with baseline very high ASCVD risk, the achievement of LDL-C target at W12 was higher in rosuvastatin/ezetimibe 10/10 mg vs. rosuvastatin 10 mg groups and rosuvastatin/ezetimibe 2.5/10 mg vs. rosuvastatin 5 mg groups (both P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse events was 36.0%, 38.7%, 25.2%, 31.4%, and 38.6% in each group. Regarding serious adverse events, the incidence was 2.2%, 2.9%, 0.7%, 3.6%, and 0.7% in each group. The incidence of drug-related adverse events was relatively high, which was 26.6%, 31.4%, 18.5%, 23.6%, and 29.0% in each group, respectively, irrespective of the absence of serious drug-related adverse events.
conclusionThe FDC of rosuvastatin/ezetimibe has superior LDL-C-lowering effects over rosuvastatin alone, with good safety profiles in hypercholesterolemia patients.
