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

Statins are widely used lipid-lowering agents for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Atorvastatin, one of the most frequently used statins, was reported to influence mitochondrial function, including the regulation of mitochondrial enzyme activity. Our recent study demonstrated that short-term treatment with atorvastatin effectively counteracted the alterations in α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (α-KGDH) induced by a high-cholesterol diet. Since α-KGDH and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) together with glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) are functionally interconnected, we hypothesized that atorvastatin modulates their activity in the brain. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of short-term atorvastatin treatment on cerebral mitochondrial dehydrogenases α-KGDH, IDH and GDH in hypercholesterolemic rats. Atorvastatin at dose 20 mg/kg b·wt/day (HC+A,
