Effects of Incretin-Based Treatment on the Diastolic (Dys)Function in Patients with Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Study with 1-Year Follow-Up.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a subclinical cardiac abnormality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that can progress to heart failure (HF) and increase cardiovascular risk. This prospective study evaluated the DD in T2DM patients without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease after one year of incretin-based drugs added to standard treatment. Of the 138 enrolled patients (49.30% male, mean age 57.86 ± 8.82, mean T2DM history 5 years), 71 were started on dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin/saxagliptin, 21 on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist exenatide, and 46 formed the control group (metformin and sulphonylurea/acarbose). At baseline, 71 patients had grade 1 DD, another 12 had grade 2 and 3 DD, and 15 had indeterminate DD. After one year, DD was evidenced in 50 cases. Diastolic function improved in 9 cases, and 27 patients went from grade 1 to indeterminate DD. The active group benefited more, especially patients treated with exenatide; their metabolic and inflammation profiles also improved the most. An in-depth analysis of echocardiographic parameters and paraclinical results in the context of literature data justifies the conclusion that early assessment of diastolic function in T2DM patients is necessary and the benefits of affordable incretin-based treatment may extend to subclinical cardiovascular manifestations such as DD.
