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

Given the limited head-to-head comparison of cardiovascular and renal outcomes between liraglutide and dulaglutide, our study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes between dulaglutide and liraglutide in a real-world setting. In this new-user design, comparative and retrospective cohort study, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with prescription for GLP-1RAs from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022 (n = 8,278) were included. Primary outcome was composite cardiovascular outcomes which was composed of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal ischemic stroke. The composite renal outcome was also interested, including new macroalbuminuria, doubling of serum creatinine, worsening of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and progression to dialysis. A total of 3,210 subjects receiving liraglutide and 5,068 subjects receiving dulaglutide were identified. In the adjusted cohort by applying inverse probability of treatment weighting, the incidence of composite cardiovascular outcomes was 18.4 and 18.7 events per 1000 person-years in the liraglutide and dulaglutide groups, respectively. The risk of cardiovascular outcomes did not significantly differ between groups (hazard ratio [HR] 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85-1.15). Moreover, the risk of composite renal outcomes was also comparable between groups (subdistribution HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.995-1.16). Liraglutide and dulaglutide demonstrated comparable cardiovascular and renal outcomes in a real-world setting.
