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.

Abstract

aimsLiraglutide (NN2211) is a long-acting GLP-1 analogue, with a pharmacokinetic profile suitable for once-daily administration. This multicentre, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy study explored the dose-response relationship of liraglutide effects on bodyweight and glycaemic control in subjects with Type 2 diabetes.

methodsSubjects (BMI 27-42 kg/m(2)) with Type 2 diabetes who were previously treated with an OAD (oral anti-diabetic drug) monotherapy (69% with metformin), and had HbA(1c) < or = 10% were enrolled. After a 4-week metformin run-in period, 210 subjects (27-73 years, 60% female) were randomised to receive liraglutide (0.045-0.75 mg) once daily or continued on metformin 1000 mg b.d. for 12 weeks.

resultsMean baseline values for the six treatment groups ranged from 6.8 to 7.5% for HbA(1c), and 8.06-9.44 mmol/l (145-170 mg/dl) for fasting plasma glucose. After 12-week treatment, a weight change of -0.05 to -1.9% was observed for the six treatment groups. Mean HbA(1c) changes from baseline for 0.045, 0.225, 0.45, 0.6, 0.75 mg liraglutide and metformin were +1.28%, +0.86%, +0.22%, +0.16%, +0.30% and +0.09%, respectively. No significant differences in HbA(1c) were observed between liraglutide and metformin groups at the three highest liraglutide dose levels (0.45, 0.6 and 0.75 mg). The lowest two liraglutide doses (0.045 mg and 0.225 mg) were not sufficient to maintain the fasting plasma glucose values achieved by metformin. No major hypoglycaemic episodes were reported. Episodes of nausea and/or vomiting were reported by 11 patients (6.3%) receiving liraglutide and three (8.8%) receiving metformin.

conclusionsOnce-daily liraglutide improved glycaemic control and weight, in a comparable degree to metformin. Liraglutide appeared to be safe and generally well tolerated. Higher doses of liraglutide merit study in future clinical trials.
