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

Background: The incidence of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is on the rise. Since there is no curative treatment, it is urgent to look for therapies that can delay disease progression and protect pancreatic β-cells. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) have shown potential in modulating inflammation and preventing β-cell destruction. This protocol describes an upcoming trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the DPP-4i alogliptin in delaying the progression of stage 2 (presymptomatic) to stage 3 (symptomatic) T1DM. Patients and Methods: We propose a two-year, two-arm, multicenter, randomized, open-label clinical trial targeting Brazilian patients aged 18 to 35 with stage 2 T1DM. The study, facilitated by the custom-developed "PRE1BRAZIL" web application, aims to enroll 130 participants. They will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a treatment group (alogliptin 25 mg daily plus regular clinical and laboratory assessments) or a control group (regular assessments only). The primary outcome is the rate of progression to stage 3 T1DM. Secondary outcomes include changes in A1c levels, glucose levels during a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), C-peptide levels, exogenous insulin requirements, Insulin-Dose Adjusted A1c (IDAA1c), and the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in those advancing to stage 3. Discussion: This protocol outlines the first randomized clinical trial (RCT) to investigate the impact of a DPP-4i in the presymptomatic stage of T1DM. The trial is designed to provide critical insights into the role of DPP-4i in the secondary prevention of T1DM. Utilizing the "PRE1BRAZIL" web application is expected to enhance participant enrollment and reduce operational costs. Registration: Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials.
