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

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the evidence of the clinical efficacy and safety of sitagliptin in diabetic patients with incipient nephropathy. PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases were searched in September 2017 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of sitagliptin in diabetic patients with incipient nephropathy. Study selection, data extraction and study quality assessment were performed independently by two investigators, while disagreements were resolved by a third reviewer. The treatment effect was estimated by calculating the mean difference (MD) or standard mean difference (SMD). Heterogeneity was assessed with the χ
