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

Background: Statins are the most widely prescribed drugs for dyslipidemia and CAD. But evidence on their cognitive effects is conflicting. A unique genetic makeup and variable lipid patterns make South Asians more susceptible to statin adverse effects. But literature on statin safety in this group is scarce. We aimed to assess the cognitive status of adult Indian statin users over two years and explore factors associated with it. Methods: A prospective cohort was established for cognitive profiling of adult statin users, visiting the out-patient cardiology department of a tertiary care center in North India. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale measured cognitive function. Analysis was conducted using mixed-effects linear regression modelling to account for repeated measurements. Results: 273 participants were enrolled. The mean cognitive score was 15. Age and education were significant predictors of cognition ( Conclusion: The statins-cognition relationship is controversial. This study demonstrated statistically significant relationships of cognition with age and education and showed no change in cognition over 2 years. The findings provide hypotheses for more in-depth assessments. Statins remain the most effective lipid-lowering treatment. However, further research is warranted for a more holistic understanding of the issue & optimizing their risk-benefit ratio.
