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

Background: Visepegenatide, a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist injection, demonstrated effective glycaemic control and good tolerability without the requirement of dose titration in the two completed phase 2 studies. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of visepegenatide in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled by metformin monotherapy in this phase 3 clinical study. Methods: This multicentre phase 3 clinical study included a 24-week, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind period followed by a 28-week open-label extended treatment period. Patients (N = 620) aged ≥18 and ≤75 years with glycated haemoglobin (HbA Findings: At week 24, the placebo-adjusted least squares mean (LSM) change of HbA Interpretation: Once-weekly injection of visepegenatide 150 μg as an add-on treatment to metformin therapy significantly improved glycaemic control and was generally well tolerated in Chinese patients with T2DM who were inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. Funding: The study was funded by PegBio Co., Ltd, Suzhou, China.
