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

purposeOrganic cation transporters (Octs) use cations like endogenous compounds, toxins, and drugs, such as metformin, as substrates. Therefore, these proteins determine the pharmacokinetics and -dynamics of metformin and thus its efficacy. Of note, metformin is today the most commonly used pharmaceutical in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with nevertheless a great variability in clinical response, which attributes to genetic variances. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of intronic OCT1 SNPs on prevalence of all-cause and cardiovascular death. PATIENTS AND

methodsGenotypes of 27 intronic SNPs in OCT1 were investigated in the LURIC study, a prospective cohort of 3316 participants scheduled for coronary angiography. We investigated whether these variants were associated with all-cause and cardiovascular death in 73 individuals with T2DM under metformin therapy, in individuals without diabetes, individuals with T2DM and individuals with T2DM without metformin therapy.

resultsIn a multivariate Cox regression analysis adjusted for classical cardiovascular risk factors, 4 intronic OCT1 SNPs were significantly associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with T2DM on metformin therapy.

conclusionAccording to their OCT1 genotype, some individuals with T2DM on metformin therapy might be prone to an increased risk of cardiovascular death.
