Review in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04735042 (Use of Combination Empagliflozin/Linagliptin or Dapagliflozin/Saxagliptin vs Empagliflozin or Dapagliflozin Alone, Subclinical Inflammation of the Genito-urinary Tract and Risk of Infections.), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

aimsThe aim of this article is to review the safety and efficacy data of dapagliflozin, saxagliptin, and their combination in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes. Evidence for the use of the single-tablet combination formulation is also presented.

methodsA nonsystematic literature review was performed using the Ovid, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases.

resultsThe addition of dapagliflozin/saxagliptin to metformin can lower mean hemoglobin A1c by as much as 1.47% and lead to weight loss of 0.5-2.0 kg. The risk of genital infections with combination therapy is lower than observed with dapagliflozin alone, suggestive of a protective effect. Adverse event risk at 52-week follow-up was not increased beyond that seen with either monotherapy.

conclusionDapagliflozin/saxagliptin combination is generally well tolerated and is an effective tool in helping patients with diabetes improve glycemic control.
