ProtecT-2-D trial protocol: cardiovascular protection in patients with type 2 diabetes and established heart and/or vascular disease at a cardio-metabolic clinic-a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06203860 (Cardiovascular Protection in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Established Heart or Vascular Disease - The Cardio-Metabolic Clinic), 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.

Abstract
backgroundCardiovascular disease remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality despite advancements in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. Effective diabetes management extends beyond blood glucose control and includes cardiovascular prevention and treatment. However, the conventional healthcare model often emphasizes single-disease-specific management, leading to fragmented care. We aim to establish an affordable Cardio-Metabolic Clinic (CMC) that can provide comprehensive assessment and specialized care with a focus on cardiovascular protection.
methodsThe ProtecT-2-D study is a prospective, randomized control trial at the Cardiovascular Research Unit, Odense University Hospital Svendborg, Denmark. In this study, 1500 participants with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either the intervention: treatment in the CMC, or the control: standard of care. The Cardio-Metabolic Clinic applies a decision-making algorithm coded with the latest guidelines to evaluate lifestyle factors and manage medical treatment. Health examinations are conducted at baseline and after three years, and clinical events will be assessed through registry and journal audits after five and ten years. The primary outcome is the time to the first occurrence of a composite of cardiovascular deaths, non-fatal acute myocardial infarctions, non-fatal stroke, or hospitalization due to heart failure at a time frame of five years. DISCUSSION: The Cardio-Metabolic Clinic represents a pioneering approach to diabetes management that aims to improve patient outcomes by reducing the cardiovascular disease burden. This study could transform diabetes care and offer a multidisciplinary, cost-effective, and specialized treatment. We need to establish the efficacy and feasibility of a CMC to integrate comparable clinics into broader healthcare systems, and potentially enhance cardiovascular health in patients with type 2 diabetes.
