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

introductionHypoglycemia is listed as an adverse effect in the package inserts of not only hypoglycemic agents but also many other drugs. We aimed to clarify real-world factors related to an increased risk of hypoglycemia-related hospitalization (HRH) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on non-hypoglycemic agents that have been associated with hypoglycemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed using data from the Medical Data Vision administrative claims database. We identified patients with T2D who were enrolled in the database between April 2014 and October 2019. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify clinical factors associated with HRH due to non-hypoglycemic agents.

resultsAmong 703 745 patients with T2D, 10 376 patients (1.47%) experienced HRH. The use of 332 non-hypoglycemic agents was associated with hypoglycemia. Multivariate analysis was performed to calculate OR for HRH. Seventy-five drugs had an OR greater than 1, and the values were significant. The OR was the highest for diazoxide (OR 15.5, 95% CI 4.87 to 49.3). The OR was higher than 2.0 for methylphenidate (OR 5.15, 95% CI 1.53 to 17.3), disulfiram (OR 4.21, 95% CI 2.05 to 8.62) and hydrocortisone (OR 2.89, 95% CI 1.11 to 7.51).

conclusionThis large retrospective analysis revealed that the risk of HRH from some non-hypoglycemic agents in patients with T2D may be increased. The results of this study are expected to support treatment planning by physicians and healthcare professionals involved in diabetes care.
