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

Aim: This study aimed to conduct a retrospective observational study in China to investigate the real-world utilization of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1RA) in China. Methods: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients were retrieved from the electronic medical records of 18 hospitals from 2016 to 2020. A descriptive analysis detailed patient characteristics and clinical outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression analysed the factors associated with daily and weekly GLP-1RA. Results: Fifteen thousand one hundred and seventy-six individuals were included. At the 6-month follow-up, the overall estimated mean change from baseline in HbA1c was -1.26±1.91% (p < 0.001), the "Weekly GLP-1RA" group was -1.58±2.03% (p < 0.001), and the "Daily GLP-1RA" group was -1.25±1.90% (p < 0.001). At the 12-month follow-up, the overall estimated mean change from baseline in HbA1c was -0.95±1.80% (p < 0.001), the "Weekly GLP-1RA" group was -1.05±1.93% (p < 0.001), and the "Daily GLP-1RA" group was -0.95±1.80% (p < 0.001). At 6 months following GLP-1RA initiation, there were statistically significant improvements in the mean TC, LDL-C, and TG at 6 months or 12 months separately following GLP-1RA initiation. Statistically significant improvements were observed in the mean HDL-C after 6 months. Compared with the baseline (11.92%), the proportion of patients who had an incidence of all hypoglycemia was lower at the 6-month follow-up (9.73%). Patients with dyslipidemia were more likely to use weekly GLP-1RA (OR =1.61, 95% CI: 1.27-2.06, p < 0.001). Conclusion: In China, weekly GLP-1RA demonstrated better effectiveness compared to the daily GLP-1RA. The results confirmed the efficacy of GLP-1RA in clinical trials.
