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

backgroundThe goal of the current study was to investigate the long-term effects (after 3 years or more) of alogliptin on glycemic control in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

methodsWe retrospectively studied the effect of alogliptin on glycemic control in the patients with type 2 diabetes who had participated in our previous 3-month study and who continued to take alogliptin for at least 36 months.

resultsThe mean duration of alogliptin treatment was 42.8 ± 2.2 months. In all 39 patients, a significant reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels was noted between the baseline and final visit: 7.8±0.6% to 7.2±1.0% (P = 0.0001). A significant reduction in HbA1c levels was found in a subgroup of patients who did not change their anti-diabetic drugs or did decrease the dose of their sulfonylureas (SUs) or did change to a lower strength repaglinide (n = 32): 7.7±0.6% to 7.2±1.0% (P = 0.0005). A significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels was observed in all of the patients that had LDL-C levels determined (P = 0.0406) (n = 37), and in a subgroup of patients who had not taken either statins, fibrates, or pioglitazone, or who had taken one or more of these drugs but the doses were not changed during the observation period (P = 0.0250) (n = 27).

conclusionThe current study found that alogliptin performed well for glycemic control when evaluated by HbA1c levels in a long-term observation period exceeding 3 years in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Alogliptin may also decrease circulating LDL-C levels with long-term use.
