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

AIMS/

introductionKnowing the collective clinical factors that determine patient response to glucose-lowering medication would be beneficial in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We carried out a retrospective cohort study to explore the combination of clinical factors involved in its therapeutic efficacy. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe results of cohort studies retrieved using the CoDiC

resultsA logistic regression analysis showed that age at diagnosis, disease duration, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and serum C-peptide reactivity (CPR) at medication commencement were associated with the probability of insulin treatment. Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that these clinical factors predicted insulin treatment positivity with an area under the curve of >0.600. The area under the curve increased to 0.674 and 0.720 for the disease duration-to-age at diagnosis ratio and HbA1c-to-CPR ratio, respectively. Furthermore, area under the curve increased to 0.727 and 0.750 in the indices (duration-to-age ratio at diagnosis × 43 + HbA1c) and (duration-to-age ration at diagnosis × 21 + HbA1c-to-CPR ratio), respectively. After stratification to three groups according to the indices, monthly HbA1c levels during 6 months of treatment were higher in the upper one-third than in the lower one-third of patients, and many patients did not achieve the target HbA1c level (53 mmol/mol) in the upper one-third, although greater than fourfold more patients were administered insulin in the upper one-third.

conclusionsThe combination of disease duration-to-age at diagnosis and HbA1c-to-CPR ratios is a collective risk factor that predicts response to the medications.
