Sitagliptin reduces albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Trial report in Endocrine journal, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 5 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 62 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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
We investigated the inhibitory effect of sitagliptin on albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes. Thirty-six patients (19 men and 17 women) whose HbA1c was higher than 6.5% (NGSP) despite receiving education on diet and exercise and medical treatment for at least 6 months at our clinic were enrolled into this study and were successfully followed over 6 months of sitagliptin treatment. Sitagliptin (50 mg/day) treatment significantly lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressures, fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, and glycated albumin at 3 months and 6 months. Significant reductions in highly sensitive C-reactive protein and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 were also observed at 6 months. Urinary albumin excretion (measured as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR: mg/g Cr)) did not change in the 6 months before sitagliptin treatment (ΔACR: 2.3 ± 19.9) and decreased in the 6 months after sitagliptin treatment (ΔACR: -20.6 ± 24.6); these differences were statistically significant. At 6 months, the ACR decreased from 11.6 ± 8.4 to 4.5 ± 5.0 in 13 patients with normoalbuminuria (ACR < 30), from 98.4 ± 79 to 24.9 ± 20 in 15 patients with microalbuminuria (30 < ACR < 300), and from 1263 ± 492 to 561 ± 89 in 8 patients with macroalbuminuria (ACR > 300). Thus, the present findings strongly suggest that sitagliptin reduces albuminuria without lowering the estimated glomerular filtration rate, most likely depending on known factors such as blood sugar reduction, blood pressure reduction, and inflammation reduction, as well as yet undetermined factors caused by an increase in active glucagon-like peptide-1.
