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

purposeExperimental evidence has suggested that dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have an anti-inflammatory effect as well as a glucose-lowering effect, but this has yet to be confirmed in diabetic patients. Therefore, we examined the anti-inflammatory effects of two kinds of DPP-4 inhibitors in patients who participated in the randomized evaluation of anagliptin (ANA) vs sitagliptin (SITA) on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in diabetes (REASON) Trial, which compared low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol lowering effects between (ANA) and SITA in patients with type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and atherosclerotic vascular lesions. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe studied patients consisted of 177 patients who received ANA 200 mg per day and 176 patients who received SITA 50 mg per day for 52 weeks. We measured high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), white blood cells (WBC), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) before and after treatment for 52 weeks, and the changes in inflammatory markers were measured as the differences between baseline and 52 weeks. Furthermore, we checked the relationship between the change in hs-CRP and several clinical factors such as the baseline hs-CRP level, use of a moderate-intensity statin, presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and taking a previous DDP-4 inhibitor.

resultsThe levels of the inflammatory markers hs-CRP, WBC, and IL-6 were determined to have not significantly changed from baseline to the final follow-up in each arm; furthermore, the changes in these markers were not significantly different between the two groups. The change in hs-CRP level was not affected by the baseline hs-CRP level, use of a moderate-intensity statin, presence of coronary artery disease, and absence of prior DPP-4 inhibitor use.

conclusionIn this sub-analysis from the REASON Trial, taking a DPP-4 inhibitor, either ANA or SITA, for 52 weeks did not affect the levels of inflammatory markers.
