Dorzagliatin: A Breakthrough Glucokinase Activator Coming on Board to Treat Diabetes Mellitus.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Dorzagliatin, an innovative dual-acting allosteric oral glucokinase activator that targets glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance, has gained approval for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The effectiveness of existing antidiabetic treatments in enhancing beta cell (β-cell) activity is restricted. Currently, there are no satisfactory medications available to address the fundamental deficiency in glucose sensing for glucokinase-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY), which is caused by mutations in the glucokinase gene; researchers have embarked on glucokinase activators. Dorzagliatin enhances the affinity of glucokinase for glucose and glucose-sensing capacity, improves β-cell function, and reduces insulin resistance. Two phase 3 studies, an adjunct trial of dorzagliatin with metformin for T2DM patients and a monotherapy trial for drug-naïve T2DM patients, are key clinical trials that have shown a favorable safety and tolerability profile. They also demonstrated a rapid, sustained reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and a significant decrease in postprandial blood glucose. This review will summarize the substantial clinical evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of dorzagliatin in treating diabetes mellitus (DM) and clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying its action.
