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

backgroundRecent studies have shown the beneficial effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor on bone turnover in diabetes mellitus. However, little clinical evidence for DPP4 activity in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes is available. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between plasma DPP4 activity and osteoporosis/osteopenia and fracture risk in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

methodsA total of 147 subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were enrolled for this cross-sectional study. The bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (L1-4) and femoral neck (FN) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF) was assessed by a modified fracture risk algorithm (FRAX) tool. The plasma DPP4 activity and clinical variables were measured. Correlation analyses between DPP4 activity and osteoporosis/osteopenia and fracture risk were performed.

resultsElevated plasma DPP activities were significantly associated with a higher proportion of osteoporosis/osteopenia (50% for quartile-1, 56.4% for quartile-2, 65.8% for quartile-3 and 72.2% for quartile-4). With increasing plasma DPP activities, the incidence rate of osteoporosis/osteopenia is gradually increasing (

conclusionsElevated plasma DPP4 activity tended to be associated with a higher proportion of osteoporosis/osteopenia and increased the fracture risk in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
