Ceramide-Phospholipid Risk Score Associates With Cardiovascular Events and Is Lowered by Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, and Anti-PCSK9 Treatments.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 2026. 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic value of previously established ceramide-phospholipid risk score, CERT2, and its response to lipid-lowering treatments in patients with symptomatic or suspected coronary heart disease. APPROACH AND
resultsSelected ceramides and phospholipids were analyzed with a quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based method from plasma or serum samples obtained from the Angiography and Genes study (ANGES, N = 966), and placebo-controlled trials investigating atorvastatin and simvastatin (N = 44) and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor RG7652 (N = 78). In the ANGES, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) per SD for the CERT2 risk score were 1.71 (1.42-2.08) for cardiovascular disease death, 1.36 (1.13-1.64) for myocardial infarction, 1.40 (1.20-1.63) for heart failure, 1.23 (1.08-1.40) for atrial fibrillation, 1.09 (0.89-1.33) for stroke, and 1.52 (1.06-2.18) for venous thromboembolism. The median decrease of the CERT2 risk score was 2 points by statin treatment ( P ≤ 0.001) and 3 points by PCSK9 inhibition ( P < 0.001) on the 0-12 scale.
conclusionsThe CERT2 risk score is a significant predictor of cardiovascular outcomes in all-comer patients with symptomatic or suspected coronary heart disease. Treatment with lipid-lowering medication significantly lowers the CERT2 risk score.
