Heart failure patients who took statins were 55 percent less likely to die during the year after they were prescribed the drugs than patients who did not get them, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.
I am willing to bet that this figure represents the RELATIVE risk, which is used to inflate trivial differences in ABSOLUTE risk...
