The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person.

Second this. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

Whether an unchanged LDL-C alongside a large triglyceride fall is a good result or a bad one, because ApoB and LDL-C seem to be telling different stories?

I read this differently. The confidence in this thread is running ahead of the evidence, and I would rather the uncertainty were stated than smoothed over because it is unsatisfying.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence. Something real and small gets treated here as though it were real and decisive.

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
