The Effects of Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitors on Renal Function in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Past studies have confirmed that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists can improve renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aimed to evaluate whether dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which elevate GLP-1 levels, also have similar effects on renal function. In this retrospective study, diabetic patients treated with anti-hyperglycemic agents between 2008 and 2011 were selected. We compared the time to first occurrence of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline ≥30% from the baseline between patients treated with DPP-4 inhibitors and those treated with other anti-hyperglycemic drugs. A total of 2202 patients were enrolled. The incidence of eGFR decline ≥30% from the baseline was 10.08% in the DPP-4 inhibitor group and 16.17% in the non-DPP-4 inhibitor group (p < 0.001). The mean time to event was significantly longer in patients receiving DPP-4 inhibitors (2.84 ± 1.60 vs. 1.96 ± 1.30 years, p < 0.001). Patients who were younger than 65 years old, had better baseline eGFR, did not have preexisting hyperlipidemia, or who were untreated with concomitant statin showed greater reductions in the risk of renal function decline (all p for interaction < 0.05). Conclusively, DPP-4 inhibitors used alone or in combination with other glucose-lowering agents were correlated with lower risks of eGFR decline in patients with type 2 DM.
