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

objectiveThis post hoc analysis evaluated the impact of age, ethnicity, and race on efficacy and hypoglycemia outcomes with once-weekly insulin icodec (icodec) vs once-daily (OD) basal insulin comparators, leveraging data from the ONWARDS 1 to 5 phase 3a clinical trials.

methodsEfficacy and hypoglycemia outcomes were assessed within each trial in insulin-naive (ONWARDS 1, 3, and 5) and insulin-experienced (ONWARDS 2 and 4) adults (≥18 years) with type 2 diabetes across subgroups of age (<55, 55-64, and ≥65 years), ethnicity (Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino), and race (Asian, Black/African American, White, Other). The primary outcome was the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to planned end of treatment. Other outcomes assessed included the achievement of HbA1c <7% (<53 mmol/mol) without clinically significant or severe hypoglycemia and the number of clinically significant or severe hypoglycemic episodes.

resultsAcross all trials, the estimated treatment differences for change in HbA1c and the odds ratios for achieving HbA1c <7% (<53 mmol/mol) without clinically significant or severe hypoglycemia were similar across age, ethnicity, and race subgroups with icodec vs OD insulin (no statistically significant treatment by subgroup interactions were observed; P > .05 in all instances). Hypoglycemia rates were numerically low for both treatment groups and consistent across age, ethnicity, and race subgroups.

conclusionThe efficacy and hypoglycemia profile of icodec vs OD comparators was consistent across trial populations irrespective of age, ethnicity, or race.
