Efficacy and safety of DPP-4 inhibitor in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 combined with diabetes mellitus: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundDM is a common chronic metabolic disease. COVID-19 is a large-scale infectious disease. Some studies have shown that DM is an independent risk factor that increases COVID-19 mortality or other adverse outcomes. There is currently no specific and effective drug treatment. More and more people realize that DPP-4 inhibitors may play a huge role in fighting COVID-19 combined with diabetes. However, there is no evidence-based medicine to confirm the effectiveness and safety of DPP-4 inhibitors in the treatment of COVID-19 patients with diabetes. Therefore, we will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize the existing clinical evidence. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Electronic databases include CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM database, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, etc. We will retrieve each database from December 2019 to September 2020. At the same time, we will look for clinical trial registration and gray literature. This study only included clinical randomized controlled trials. The reviewers independently conduct literature selection, data analysis, quality analysis, and evaluation. The primary outcomes include mortality rate, morbidity, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, clinical improvement, symptoms improvement, fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting insulin, adverse reactions, etc. Finally, we will conducted a meta-analysis through Review Manager Software version 5.3.
resultsThe results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at a relevant conference.
conclusionThis study will explore the effectiveness and safety of DPP-4 inhibitors in the treatment of COVID-19 patients with diabetes. It will provide evidence-based medical evidence for DPP-4 inhibitors in the treatment of diabetes with COVID-19. REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY202090015.
