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

The impact of tofogliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, on peripheral glucose uptake in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was investigated using the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp method in a single-arm, open-label study. The following variables were compared between before and after tofogliflozin administration for 12 weeks in 16 patients with T2DM who were receiving dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor treatment: body weight (BW); blood pressure; glucose metabolism; liver function; lipid profile; and body composition. Peripheral glucose uptake (M value and M/I ratio) was examined by the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp method. After 12 weeks, there was a significant decrease (P < .001) in glycated haemoglobin, BW, body fat mass and lean body mass. Peripheral glucose uptake, which indicates insulin sensitivity, increased significantly (M value by 0.90 and M/I ratio by 0.49; both P < .05). The change in the M value after 12 weeks of tofogliflozin therapy was correlated with the change in body fat mass (P < .05). Tofogliflozin significantly improved insulin sensitivity and peripheral glucose uptake in patients with T2DM. These improvements were significantly correlated with reduction in body fat mass.
