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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of linagliptin on microalbuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 92 patients with DN who were divided into two groups. The intervention and control groups received linagliptin 5 mg and placebo for 24 weeks, respectively. Blood pressure, lipid profile, liver enzymes, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) were assessed and recorded before, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after the beginning of the intervention. The mean value of UACR decrease was significant over time in both groups, with higher decrease in linagliptin group, however, the differences between two groups were not, statistically significant (P > 0.05). However, the percentage of improvement in microalbuminuria (UACR < 30 mg/g) in the linagliptin group was significantly higher than that of the control group during 24 weeks of intervention (68.3% vs. 25%; P-value < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean value of the UACR and other parameters between linagliptin treated and placebo treated patients with diabetic nephropathy. Further studies, with longer periods of follow-up are suggested to examine these patients' renal outcomes.
