A higher body mass index attenuates the long-term HbA1c-lowering effects of liraglutide in type 2 diabetes patients treated using sulfonylurea-based therapy.
Article in Diabetology international, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo identify the attenuating factor of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)-lowering effects of liraglutide in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients over the long term.
methodsForty-six T2D patients received liraglutide-glimepiride combination therapy. Clinical characteristics were compared between the following two subgroups: the relapse group (≥0.4 % increase in HbA1c in 48 weeks compared to 12 weeks) and non-relapse group (remaining patients). A glucagon-loading test was performed to evaluate baseline endogenous insulin secretion.
resultsIn the relapse group, significantly reduced HbA1c, as observed at 12 weeks, tended to increase at 24 and 48 weeks. In the non-relapse group, reduced HbA1c was maintained for 48 weeks. Body weight was decreased at 12 weeks and then recovered at 48 weeks in both groups. Baseline BMI was significantly higher in the relapse group than in the non-relapse group. Age, HbA1c, duration of diabetes, fasting C-peptide, daily glimepiride dose and the duration of glimepiride treatment were comparable between both groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that baseline BMI was independently associated with the relapse group.
conclusionA higher BMI is the leading factor for attenuating long-term glycemic control by liraglutide in T2D patients undergoing sulfonylurea-based therapy.
