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

aimsTo compare the safety and efficacy of a simpler titration algorithm for insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) with that used in previous DUAL trials in insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThis 32-week, open-label, non-inferiority trial randomized adults with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled on metformin ± pioglitazone to receive IDegLira, titrated either once weekly, based on the mean of 2 pre-breakfast plasma glucose (PG) readings (n = 210), or twice weekly, based on the mean of 3 pre-breakfast PG readings (n = 210).

resultsMean HbA1c decreased from 8.2% (65 mmol/mol) to 6.1% (43 mmol/mol) with once-weekly titration and from 8.1% (65 mmol/mol) to 6.0% (42 mmol/mol) with twice-weekly titration; non-inferiority was confirmed (estimated treatment difference: 0.12% [-0.04; 0.28]

conclusionA pragmatic titration algorithm with once-weekly adjustments based on 2 PG readings resulted in a safety and glycaemic efficacy profile similar to that with twice-weekly adjustments based on 3 preceding PG values in insulin-naïve patients.
