Symptom Time Course in Days Before and After Stopping Tablets

(Top) The symptom pattern averaged across all patients. (Bottom) The symptom scores during each unique 2-month period where a patient transitioned between a tablet month (red for statin, blue for placebo) and no treatment (gray). The dotted vertical line shows the time of stopping tablets. These periods are arranged so the largest increase in symptom scores on starting tablets is in the top left, and the lowest in the bottom right. Because patients could stop tablets early if they experienced intolerable symptoms, some treatment periods are curtailed.
