Tailoring Type II Diabetes Treatment: Investigating the Effect of 5-HTT Polymorphisms on HbA1c Levels after Metformin Initiation.

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
Aims: To investigate the effect of serotonin transporter (5-HTT) polymorphisms on change in HbA1c levels six months after metformin initiation in type 2 diabetes patients. Materials and Methods: Participants of PROVALID (PROspective cohort study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for VALidation of biomarkers) within the GIANTT (Groningen Initiative to ANalyse Type 2 Diabetes Treatment) cohort who initiated metformin were genotyped for combined 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 (L Results: 157 participants were included, of which 56.2% were male. The average age was 59.3 ± 9.23 years, and the mean baseline HbA1c was 7.49% ± 1.21%. 5-HTTLPR was characterized in 46 patients as L Conclusions: 5-HTT polymorphisms did not affect HbA1c levels six months after the start of metformin. Further long-term studies in large samples would be relevant to determine which polymorphisms can explain the variation in response to metformin treatment.
