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

aimTo investigate durability of efficacy and safety over 1 year of the sequence of liraglutide added to metformin followed by add-on insulin detemir if glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) remains ≥7.0%.

methodsPatients previously uncontrolled on metformin±sulfonylurea with HbA1c ≥7.0% after 12 weeks of adding liraglutide 1.8mg to metformin (run-in; sulfonylurea discontinued) were randomized 1:1 to 52 weeks' open-label add-on detemir (randomized treatment [RT] group; n=162) or continuation without detemir (randomized control [RC] group; n=161). Patients with HbA1c <7.0% continued 52 weeks' unchanged treatment (observational group; n=498).

resultsRun-in HbA1c improvement from 8.3% to 7.6% (-0.6%) was further enhanced in the RT group (-0.50%) and maintained in the RC group (+0.01%) over 52 weeks; estimated treatment difference (ETD)[95%CI]: -0.51 [-0.70;-0.31]; P<0.0001. More RT (52%) than RC patients (22%) achieved HbA1c <7.0% at 52 weeks (P<0.0001). Run-in weight loss (-3.5kg) was maintained in the RT (-0.05kg) and enhanced in the RC group (-1.02kg) after 52 weeks; ETD [95%CI]: 0.97 [0.04;1.91]; P=0.04. No major hypoglycemia occurred; minor hypoglycemia rates were low across groups (0.034-0.228 events/patient-year).

conclusionsSupplementing metformin+liraglutide with detemir for 52 weeks improved glycemic control with sustained weight loss and low hypoglycemia rate.
