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

aim/hypothesisEvidence suggests that postprandial hyperglycaemia may be a cardiovascular risk factor in diabetes. Oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications and previous studies have shown increased oxidative stress and inflammation in the postprandial phase in diabetic patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether controlling postprandial hyperglycaemia with S21403 (mitiglinide) is accompanied by a reduced generation of oxidative stress and inflammation. SUBJECTS AND

methodsForty type 2 diabetic patients participated in the study. Two different breakfast-tests were performed in each patient, with placebo or S21403. Plasma nitrotyrosine, plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), oxidised LDL (oxLDL), plasma total radical-trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP), IL-6, IL-18, TNF-alpha, plasma glucose and insulin were measured.

resultsAfter the administration of S21403, 40 mg, a rapid stimulation of insulin secretion was observed, accompanied by a reduction of postprandial hyperglycaemia. With S21403, a significant decrease of either nitrotyrosine, MDA and oxLDL levels, and a preservation of plasma TRAP compared with placebo was found. Significant decreases of IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-alpha were also observed with S21403 compared with placebo. CONCLUSIONS/

interpretationThis study shows that controlling postprandial hyperglycaemia with S21403 significantly improves the cluster of oxidative stress and inflammation markers that are increased in the postprandial state in diabetic patients.
