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

purposeDiabetes mellitus is characterized by having a multitude of life-threatening secondary complications, particularly dyslipidemia, which ultimately leads to the development of comorbid diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases. This research work was designed to investigate the synergistic effect of glimepiride (1 mg/kg b.w.) and rosuvastatin (10 mg /kg b.w.) on alloxan-induced diabetic rats having dyslipidemia.

methodsDiabetes was induced by injecting alloxan (120 mg/kg b.w.) intraperitoneally. The experiment was conducted to determine the level of blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, and body weight variation of rats.

resultsThis study's outcomes suggested that the combination therapy showed more statistically significant effect on blood glucose level, HbA1c level, lipid profile, and body weight variation than any single therapy. While the glimepiride monotherapy showed a statistically considerable effect on blood glucose level, HbA1c level, and body weight variation, the rosuvastatin treated group gave statistically non-significant effect on these parameters except body weight variation, which was found as downward trend. In addition, the rosuvastatin treated group showed a healthy lipid profile compared to glimepiride treated group.

conclusionsConcluding the results of this study, it can be said that the treatment of glimepiride in combination with rosuvastatin may be more efficacious than monotherapy for preventing diabetes in rats with dyslipidemia.
