Evaluation of treatment satisfaction, efficacy and safety of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectionalcomparative study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionDipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors are attractive agents to be used in the elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) because of their beneficial effects.
methodsIn this cross-sectional, observational study, we evaluated and compared the treatment satisfaction using Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) in two groups (i.e., regimens containing DPP4 inhibitors vs. other regimens). Efficacy was evaluated by assessing and comparing the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values and the percentage of patients who achieved the glycemic control (HbA1c <7%). The adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were also recorded and compared among two groups.
resultsA total of 115 patients participated in the study (42 in Group 1 and 73 in Group 2). Significantly better DTSQ scores were observed among Group 1 patients in terms of DTSQ score total (
conclusionDPP4 inhibitors seem to offer better treatment satisfaction and efficacy in geriatric T2DM patients but at the expense of increased frequency of ADRs; however, further research is warranted.
