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

We have reported that the HbA1c-lowering effects of liraglutide/basal insulin combination rely on remaining β-cell function and that the cut-off value of the C-peptide immunoreactivity index (CPI), a β-cell function-related index frequently used in Japanese clinical settings, is 1.103 for the achievement of HbA1c <7.0% at 54 weeks after initiating the liraglutide/basal insulin combination. Wilbrink et al claimed that glucose-lowering effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide depend of duration of type 2 diabetes; while our resent study published in the Journal of Diabetes Investigation failed to detect such dependency. This discrepancy might be due to several reasons including co-administration of basal insulin with liraglutide in our study; ethnic difference in T2D pathophysiology between the two study; and difference in sample size (The Usui study on liraglutide/basal insulin, n = 38; the Usui study on liraglutide monotherapy or SU combination, n=88; and the Wilbrink study, n = 69).
