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

The impact of blood glucose-lowering medications on weight has always been a topic of interest in the treatment of diabetic patients. This study investigates the effect of empagliflozin on weight in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. This quasi-experimental study was performed on patients with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c level up to 1% higher than the treatment target, and not using other blood glucose-lowering medications. Patients received 10 milligrams of Empagliflozin once daily for three months, and weight, BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure were evaluated monthly. Forty-three patients (21 women and 22 men) enrolled. The average weight of patients decreased by 2.96 ± 1.96 kg (3.8%) (P < 0.001). BMI decreased by -1.10 ± 0.71 Kg/m
