The Impact of a Metformin Recall on Patient Hemoglobin A1c Levels at a VA Network.
Article in Federal practitioner : for the health care professionals of the VA, DoD, and PHS, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: In May 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked 5 pharmaceutical companies to voluntarily recall some formulations of metformin due to contamination. This observational study sought to provide insight changes in hemoglobin A Methods: This study included veterans aged ≥ 18 years with type 2 diabetes who were receiving health care from Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 and had an active metformin sustained-action (SA) prescription as of June 1, 2020. This observational study used a complex random-effects within-between model to evaluate the impact that the recall had on HbA Results: A total of 9130 veterans were included. GLP-1 agonists were associated with a substantial decrease in HbA Conclusions: This study demonstrated that following an FDA recall, newer diabetes medications lowered HbA
