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/

introductionSodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus that improve control of plasma glucose and bodyweight, giving great hope for the clinical utility of these agents. However, it is unclear for which patients SGLT2 inhibitors will be useful. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analyzed data from long-term tofogliflozin monotherapy in an open-label, randomized controlled trial in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients were divided into tertiles by baseline insulin level: group low (L): insulin ≤5.6 μU/mL, group medium (M): 5.6< insulin ≤10 μU/mL and group high (H): insulin >10 μU/mL.

resultsGlycated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose levels, along with bodyweight, were significantly reduced from the baseline in all groups. The changes in levels of plasma glucose area under the curve for 2 h, C-peptide index area under the curve for 2 h during the meal tolerance tests and the insulin secretion index were the largest in the H group. The incidence of drug-related adverse events was not different among the three groups. DISCUSSION: Although tofogliflozin was effective regardless of baseline insulin level, it showed the highest efficacy in the H group.
