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 effects of sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension are unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the long-term effects of sitagliptin in those patients.

methodsIn the PROLOGUE study, 365 patients were diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and 189 patients in the sitagliptin group, 176 patients in the conventional group. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, systolic pressure (SP), diastolic pressure (DP), serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCR) were measured at the beginning of the study and after 12 and 24 months of treatment.

resultsFBS and HbA1c levels were not significantly decreased after treatment [12 months: OR: -3.1, 95% CI (-11.3, 5.0); OR: 0.1, 95% CI (0.0, 0.3); 24 months: OR: -0.1, 95% CI (-9.1, 8.8); OR: 0.1, 95% CI (0.0, 0.3), respectively]. BP and DP levels were not significantly decreased after treatment (12 months: OR: 0.9, 95% CI (-2.8, 4.6); OR: 0.6, 95% CI (-2.0, 3.2); 24 months: OR: -0.5, 95% CI (-4.2, 3.1); OR: -1.6, 95% CI (-41, 0.9), respectively]. Furthermore, BUN and SCR levels were not significantly decreased after treatment (12 months: OR: 0.0, 95%CI (-1.2, 1.2); OR: 0.0, 95% CI (-0.1, 0.0); 24 months: OR: 0.4, 95% CI (-1.0, 1.8); OR: -80.8, 95% CI (-201.3, 39.8), respectively]. After adjusting for confounding factors, our results did not change.

conclusionsIn our study, there was no evidence that treatment with sitagliptin can improve FBS, BP, DP, BUN or SCR in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
