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

purposeReduction of major atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (MACE) has not been consistent among different glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to assess the association between the magnitude of glycemic control, body weight loss, and reductions in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) achieved through GLP-1 RA therapy and MACE.

methodsElectronic databases (MEDLINE, CENTRAL, SCOPUS) were searched through March 2023. Studies were eligible if they were cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) comparing GLP-1 RAs versus placebo in T2DM patients. The outcome of interest was 3-point MACE - cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Random-effects meta-regression analyses evaluated the associations between reductions of HbA

resultsOverall, 8 CVOTs were included (60079 patients, 30693 with GLP-1 RAs). Reductions of HbA

conclusionsIn T2DM patients, more potent GLP-1 RAs in reducing HbA1c and body weight were associated with greater reductions of MACE.
