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.

Abstract

backgroundPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remain at increased cardiovascular residual risk and endothelial dysfunction, even after optimizing metabolic control and treatment by sodium-glucose-2 transporter inhibitors (SGLT2-is). The present study was based on the hypothesis that proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 inhibitor (PCSK9i) therapy may mitigate endothelial dysfunction in T2DM patients who are on regular treatment by SGLT2-i.

methodsThe EXCEED-BHS3 is a prospective, single-center, investigator-blinded, open-label, randomized clinical trial. Participants (

conclusionThis will be the first study to evaluate the add-on effect of PCSK9i on endothelial function of T2DM patients under regular use of empagliflozin.
