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/

aimImeglimin, a novel oral antidiabetic agent, was approved in 2021 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Phase III clinical trials demonstrated its safety and efficacy in managing T2DM. However, its safety profile in patients with heart failure has not been thoroughly evaluated in real-world clinical settings. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe analyzed cases of patients with heart failure (stage B or higher) who were newly prescribed imeglimin, based on electronic medical records from June 2022 to June 2024. Baseline clinical data at the initiation of imeglimin therapy were collected, and cardiovascular events, adverse effects (e.g., lactic acidosis), and blood test results, including glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), were assessed as of July 2024.

resultsA total of 21 patients met the inclusion criteria. HbA1c levels significantly decreased after an average of 312.1±205.8 days of imeglimin therapy (baseline vs. on therapy: 8.2±1.0% vs. 7.5±0.7%, p=0.001). Alanine aminotransferase levels were also significantly reduced (baseline vs. on therapy: 30.9±23.8 IU/l vs. 22.0±12.3 IU/l, p=0.022). No adverse drug reactions were observed during the treatment period. Major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in three patients (14%), although a clear association with imeglimin remains uncertain.

conclusionImeglimin demonstrated safety and efficacy in T2DM in patients with coexisting heart failure.
