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

Drusen and subretinal drusenoid deposits, the pathognomonic lesions for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are rich in cholesterol. Yet, AMD is not consistently linked to plasma lipids. Here wild-type and human apolipoprotein B100-expressing (APOB100) mice were put on a Western type of diet for 13 months and then assessed for plasma lipid profile, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) heterogeneity, status of intraretinal and choroidal vasculatures, retinal structure, function, levels of cholesterol and other sterols, lipid and cholesterol distribution and expression of cholesterol-related genes. The dietary effects were more pronounced in APOB100 mice, which had human-like hyperlipidemia and different subpopulations of HDL
