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

backgroundOmarigliptin is one of several once-weekly dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is). Despite the high frequency of switching from various daily DPP-4is to omarigliptin in actual clinical practice, data regarding its efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) after switching are limited.

aimTo analyze the efficacy of omarigliptin in Japanese patients with T2D who had previously received treatment with other glucose-lowering agents.

methodsForty-nine T2D patients treated for the first time with omarigliptin were recruited retrospectively and divided into four groups defined as either add-on or switched from daily DPP-4is: switched from linagliptin, switched from sitagliptin, and switched from vildagliptin. During a 3-mo follow-up, the clinical parameters among these groups were assessed and compared, with the impact of the switch on glycemic variability as measured by continuous glucose monitoring also being evaluated in the switched groups.

resultsHemoglobin A1c levels saw a significant decrease of -0.32% ± 0.41% in the add-on group (

conclusionAdministering omarigliptin as add-on therapy or switching to it from sitagliptin and linagliptin, but not vildagliptin, improves glycemic control and thus should help in decision making when selecting DPP-4is for T2D patients.
