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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents one of the most common chronic-degenerative diseases in modern society and is the cause of innumerable micro- and macrovascular complications that weigh on the national health system. Until a few years ago, there was no anti-diabetic drug that, in addition to lowering blood sugar, had an impact on cardiovascular risk in these patients. In this report, we will analyse the characteristics, contraindications, and evidence in favour of the use of two innovative categories of molecules that aim, for the first time in history, at controlling blood sugar levels and simultaneously lower cardiovascular risk in diabetics individuals: the glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists and the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors.
