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

backgroundWe investigated the potential mechanism underlying body weight reduction by the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, tofogliflozin, during treatment and after subsequent washout.

methodsTen Japanese men with type 2 diabetes (average age: 66.3 years) were orally administered tofogliflozin (20 mg/day) for 8 weeks followed by a subsequent 8-week washout period (16 weeks).

resultsSignificant reductions were observed in blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), uric acid, body weight and waist circumference with an increase in high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin at 8 weeks. We also evaluated these markers at 16 weeks and found that unlike HbA1c and uric acid, body weight and HMW adiponectin did not return to baseline levels. To clarify the potential mechanism underlying the body weight reduction during treatment with tofogliflozin (8 weeks) and after washout (at 16 weeks), we investigated the correlations between changes from baseline (0 week) in body weight and those in waist circumference (or HMW adiponectin). The changes in body weight between 0 weeks versus 8 weeks were not significantly correlated with those in waist circumference or HMW adiponectin. In contrast, changes in body weight between 0 and 16 weeks did show a significant correlation to those in waist circumference and HMW adiponectin.

conclusionThe body weight reduction caused by tofogliflozin may be due to several factors as well as fat reduction at 8 weeks, but is most likely due to fat reduction alone after a subsequent 8 weeks of washout of this agent.
