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

introductionInsulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) is a fixed-ratio combination (FRC) of basal insulin and glucagon-like protein-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) that has demonstrated glycemic and metabolic benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in both randomized controlled trials and real-world studies. The impact of adherence to this medication and its effect on patients with T2DM who switch from loose-dose combination therapy to a FRC of insulin and GLP-1RA have not yet been reported. We have examined the metabolic effects and adherence to this medication in a real-life setting, in T2DM patients who initiated IDegLira therapy after being treated with other glucose-lowering drugs.

methodsThis is a retrospective observational study of adult T2DM patients managed by the Maccabi Healthcare Services (Israel) who initiated IDegLira and persisted with therapy for 180 days between July 2017 and August 2018. Mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA

resultsA total of 413 patients who persisted with IDegLira therapy for at least 180 days were evaluated as a per protocol group. A significant mean reduction in HbA

conclusionIn a real-world setting, the use of IDegLira was associated with improved glycemic control and adherence to therapy.
