Effect of Chiglitazar and Sitagliptin on Bone Mineral Density and Body Composition in Untreated Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02173457 (Phase III Study of Chiglitazar in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Insufficient Glycemic Control Despite Diet and Exercise -- A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, and Sitagliptin-Controlled Trial), which is not on this map.

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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in untreated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) before and after chiglitazar or sitagliptin treatment. Methods: A total of 81 patients with T2DM were randomly divided to receive chiglitazar or sitagliptin treatment for 24 weeks (54 in the chiglitazar group and 27 in the sitagliptin group). We measured the spine lumbar BMD, hip BMD, fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), percent body fat (%BF), android FM, gynoid FM and skeleton muscle mass (SMM) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and examined serum adiponectin (ADP) levels at baseline and the end of the study. Results: There were no significant changes in the BMD of the L2-4, femoral neck, trochanter or total hip as well as in the BMC after 24 weeks of treatment with chiglitazar or sitagliptin. After chiglitazar administration, the FM, gynoid FM and gynoid to total FM ratio were higher, while the android to total FM ratio and the android to gynoid FM ratio (AOI) were significantly lower. Sitagliptin intervention did not result in statistically significant differences in total fat loss, but it did cause significant decreases in %BF and AOI as well as increases in the FFM, gynoid to total FM ratio and SMM. The ADP levels had significantly negative associations with AOI in all eligible patients. Conclusion: The chiglitazar had no deleterious effects on BMD and resulted in body fat redistribution in untreated patients with T2DM. Trial Registration: The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (CT.gov identifier: NCT02173457).
