Risk of a first-ever acute myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality with sulphonylurea treatment: A population-based cohort study.
Article in Diabetes, obesity & metabolism, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We investigated the association between the current use of individual sulphonylureas and the risk of a first-ever acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and all-cause mortality, in a population-based cohort study, using primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink database (2004-2012). New users (N = 121 869), aged ≥18 years, with at least one prescription for a non-insulin antidiabetic agent were included. The first prescription defined start of follow-up. Time-dependent Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the risk of a first-ever AMI and all-cause mortality associated with the use of individual sulphonylureas, and other non-insulin glucose-lowering drugs. No differences in risk of a first-ever AMI (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.70-1.50) or all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.80-1.17) were observed when comparing gliclazide use with non-gliclazide sulphonylurea use. Similar results were found for each individual sulphonylurea. As evidence is accumulating that gliclazide is no safer than other sulphonylureas, current guidelines suggesting superiority should be carefully evaluated.
