Lixisenatide Improves Glycemic Control in Asian Type 2 Diabetic Patients Inadequately Controlled With Oral Antidiabetic Drugs: An Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis.

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.
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
introductionLixisenatide is a novel GLP-1 receptor agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Its efficacy and safety have been assessed in a series of phase 3 studies included in the GetGoal program. In these studies, lixisenatide was found to be superior to placebo in glycemic control. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the safety and efficacy of lixisenatide as an adjunct therapy in Asian patients with T2DM in adequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs).
methodsWe performed a meta-analysis from five lixisenatide phase 3 studies. In each of these multiethnic studies, patients with T2DM inadequately controlled (glycated hemoglobin, HbA1c ≥7%) with established OADs were randomized to lixisenatide or placebo for 24 weeks, with a balanced distribution of Asian patients in these two arms (503 and 338 patients in the intent-to-treat population, respectively).
resultsLixisenatide was superior to placebo in reducing HbA1c (weighted, total mean difference -0.57%; P = 0.002). More patients treated with lixisenatide versus placebo achieved HbA1c targets of ≤7% (49.1% vs. 28.4%, P = 0.003). Lixisenatide was superior to placebo in lowering 2-h postprandial glucose (PPG) (weighted, total mean difference -5.50 mmol/l, P = 0.0005). More patients treated with lixisenatide versus placebo achieved 2-h PPG targets of ≤7.8 mmol/l (39.2% vs. 2.2%, P < 0.0001). More patients treated with lixisenatide versus placebo achieved both an HbA1c target of ≤7% and a 2-h PPG target of ≤10 mmol/l (34.8% vs. 2.69%, P < 0.00001). The body weight of the lixisenatide group tended to decrease. Lixisenatide was generally well tolerated.
conclusionLixisenatide as an adjunct therapy can significantly improve the glycemic control of Asian patients with type 2 DM who do not meet targets for glycemic control with an established OAD regimen.
