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

AIMS/

introductionThe distinct effects of different statins on glycemic control have not been fully evaluated. In this open-label, prospective, cross-over clinical trial, we compared the effects of pitavastatin and atorvastatin on glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients with hypercholesterolemia. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 28 Japanese type 2 diabetics with hypercholesterolemia treated with rosuvastatin (2.5 mg/day) for at least 8 weeks were recruited to this quasi-randomized cross-over study. At study entry, the patients assigned to sequence 1 received pitavastatin (2 mg/day) for 12 weeks in period 1 and atorvastatin (10 mg/day) for another 12 weeks in period 2, whereas patients assigned to sequence 2 received atorvastatin (10 mg/day) for 12 weeks in period 1 and pitavastatin (2 mg/day) for another 12 weeks in period 2. Blood samples were collected at three visits (baseline, after 12 and 24 weeks).

resultsLipid control was similar in both statins. The difference in glycated hemoglobin between pitavastatin and atorvastatin treatments was -0.18 (95% confidence interval -0.34 to -0.02; P = 0.03). Compared with atorvastatin, pitavastatin treatment significantly lowered the levels of glycoalbumin, fasting glucose and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.

conclusionsOur results showed that treatment with pitavastatin had a more favorable outcome on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes compared with atorvastatin. This trial was registered with UMIN (no. 000003554).
