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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe incidence of cardiometabolic diseases is increasing because of an increase in the standard of living. Currently, clinical treatment strategies for cardiometabolic diseases mainly focus on maintaining glycemic and lipid profiles. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of saroglitazar in patients with metabolic disease and provide evidence for clinical decision making.

methodsWe searched electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials [CENTRAL], and Google Scholar) for randomized controlled trials that examined saroglitazar for the treatment of patients with cardiometabolic disease. A total of seven randomized controlled trials were included for the qualitative and quantitative synthesis. Mean difference (MD) and risk ratio with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were applied for continuous and dichotomous data, respectively.

resultsThe overall effect of saroglitazar showed significant changes in triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, non-high-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels [MD: - 40.50; 95% CI - 58.09 to - 22.92; p < 0.00001; I

conclusionsOur study results conclude that the overall effect of saroglitazar was beneficial only in terms of lipid profiles and liver function parameters, whereas saroglitazar 4 mg showed a better therapeutic role in maintaining lipid and glycemic parameters in patients with cardiometabolic disease.
