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

Safe and effective therapies for type 2 diabetes are needed to reduce the burden of late complications and costs associated with this chronic disease. Hypoglycaemia and body weight gain are side effects and limitations of the therapy with insulin and/or sulphonylureas. Recently, the combination of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and insulin has become available, which is associated with good efficacy and less risk for hypoglycaemia and weight gain. This editorial discusses the strategies to escalate treatment in type 2 diabetes in view of this novel combination and discusses its placement within the therapeutic algorithm of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD). Recent developments to simplify this combination therapy are also dealt with.
