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.

Recommendations it makes

Increasingly more important are elevated Lp(a) levels and special subgroups: in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), statin treatment is recommended over the age of 40 years regardless of the LDL‑C as well as in high-risk patients undergoing anthracycline treatment.
The update reinforces the principle of risk-adapted LDL‑C target values, expands the treatment options and emphasizes the need for early, consistent lipid-lowering with practical recommendations.
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

The 2025 update of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) guidelines on dyslipidemia introduce important innovations based on new evidence. The risk assessment is now conducted using the systematic coronary risk evaluation 2 (SCORE2) and SCORE2-OP (older persons), which enable improved stratification, particularly in older individuals. In addition, risk modifiers, such as family history, ethnicity, comorbidities and the biomarkers elevated highly sensitive C‑reactive protein (hs-CRP) or lipoprotein(a) (Lpa), have been introduced. Risk categories have been refined while low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) target values and the principle of stepwise treatment remain unchanged. A major focus is on the acute coronary syndrome: the immediate initiation of high-intensity statin treatment, mostly in combination with ezetimibe is recommended. Increasingly more important are elevated Lp(a) levels and special subgroups: in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), statin treatment is recommended over the age of 40 years regardless of the LDL‑C as well as in high-risk patients undergoing anthracycline treatment. The use of dietary supplements and vitamins for prevention, however, are discouraged. The update reinforces the principle of risk-adapted LDL‑C target values, expands the treatment options and emphasizes the need for early, consistent lipid-lowering with practical recommendations.
