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

objectivesThe proposed review aims to compare the efficacy and safety profile of empagliflozin 25 mg with its lower dosages and placebo, respectively, in insulin-treated type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients.

methodsDouble-blinded randomized controlled trials comparing the above outcomes will be searched primarily in three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Scopus) and eligible trials will be included in the proposed review. Then, from the trials recruited in the review, data of the study design, participants, interventions compared, and outcomes of interest will be extracted. Subsequently, the trials' risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. The meta-analysis will be conducted with a fixed-effect or a random-effect model to estimate the mean differences (weighted or standardized) and risk ratios for the efficacy and safety-related comparable outcome data, respectively. Statistical heterogeneity will be assessed by the p-value of chi-squared statistics and I

resultsA narrative reporting will ensue if a meta-analytic comparison is not possible.

conclusionsBased on the contemporary literature, the proposed review will synthesize the evidence on how the efficacy and safety profile of high dose empagliflozin varies with its lower doses and placebo, respectively, in insulin-treated T1DM patients.
