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

backgroundThere are several treatments to cure type 2 diabetes (T2D) and every one of them has certain attributes which is lead patients and specialists to have different preferences and select power. Therefore, we did this systematic study to evaluate patients̓ and physicians̓ preferences for type 2 diabetes medications by extracting attributes of anti-diabetic medications and identifying their relative importance.

methodsWe searched the PubMed, Ovid, Web of science, Scopus and Embase databases for articles which have been published on or before May 8th, 2018(The start time of the search in our study was May 8th, 2018).

resultsThe searches identified 3346 studies, of which 17 (from 2009 to 2017) were included in the final synthesis and 27 attributes of type 2 anti-diabetic have been investigated. The most important attributes are changes of blood glucose and HbA1c level, hypoglycemia events, weight changes, gastrointestinal complications, cardiovascular effects, medicines cost, and administration mode and dosage of medicines.

conclusionphysicians and patients prefer antidiabetics which is reduce blood glucose and HbA1c level effectively and have low side effects too (hypoglycemic event, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal). The effect of weight reduction, low cost, low dosing and low frequency of using. Health care providers, Specialist, and manufacturers should consider to these attributes in treatment process and marketing.
