Familial Hypercholesterolaemia and the Risk of Cardiovascular Events.
Article in Cureus, 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
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, characterised by markedly elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth, which confers a substantially increased risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Pathogenic variants primarily occur in the genes encoding the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), low-density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1 (LDLRAP1), or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Early diagnosis, based on clinical criteria, family history, and genetic testing, is imperative to promptly initiate aggressive therapeutic strategies. Standard treatment involves lifestyle modifications and high-intensity pharmacotherapy, primarily with statins, often in combination with ezetimibe. For patients who do not achieve their therapeutic goals or are intolerant, PCSK9 inhibitors represent a significant evolution in the treatment paradigm. In this article, we present a case of homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia.
