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.

2 · The registry

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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionGlucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) are recommended therapy for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and liraglutide is the most used worldwide. We assessed the glycemic efficacy and extra-glycemic effects of liraglutide during 36 months' follow-up of individuals with poorly regulated T2DM under routine clinical practice and sought to identify the phenotype of treatment responders.

methodsA total of 207 individuals were included. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with HbA1c < 7.0% and/or weight reduction. Secondary endpoints included changes in lipids, blood pressure, fasting c-peptide, and antidiabetic treatment during follow-up of 3 years.

resultsLiraglutide was prescribed to 89.8% of participants already on at least two antidiabetic medications and 18% on insulin. Subject's mean age was 53.28 ± 9.42 years with duration of diabetes 8.29 ± 4.89 years. Baseline HbA1c was 8.5 ± 1.3% and body mass index (BMI) was 39 ± 4.5 kg/m

conclusionLiraglutide shows sustained glycemic and extra-glycemic effects when used for treatment of obese poorly regulated individuals with T2DM.
