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

Patients with diabetes mellitus are at high risk for developing coronary artery disease (CAD), even if they are treated with statins. Several studies have shown the beneficial effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors on the cardiovascular system in an animal model. However, recent clinical trials using DPP-4 inhibitors have shown that these inhibitors fail to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Therefore, this study will be performed to evaluate the effects of sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, on coronary atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study will be a prospective, open-label, randomized multicenter trial performed in 6 centers in Japan. Stable CAD patients with type 2 diabetes who have undergone successful percutaneous coronary intervention under integrated backscatter (IB)-intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance will be studied. They will be randomly assigned to either the sitagliptin group or a control group. After 48 weeks' treatment, the IVUS examination will be repeated in the same coronary artery as at baseline. The primary end point will be the percentage change in plaque volume measured using grayscale IVUS from baseline to the 48-week follow-up. This study will be the first multicenter trial to evaluate the effects of a DPP-4 inhibitor on coronary atherosclerosis evaluated using IB-IVUS, and the findings will clarify the anti-atherogenic effects of sitagliptin.
