N-glycan as new potential biomarker for predicting treatment response in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Biomarkers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimsTo investigate the N-glycans related to the metformin efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND
methodsWe enrolled 141 healthy controls and 195 newly diagnosed T2DM patients treated with metformin for 3 months. Serum N-glycan profile was determined by DNA sequencer - assisted fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (DSA-FACE). The N-glycan model was established by logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to analyze the predictive power of the N-glycan model for metformin efficacy.
resultsThe abundances of several N-glycans in serum of T2DM patients at baseline were significantly different from those of healthy controls and tended to recover the N-glycan of controls after 3 months treatment. Serum N-glycans changes were more significant in the good response group (FPG <7 mmol/L) after metformin treatment. In addition, the abundance of peak9 at baseline had an opposite tendency between HbA1c increased and decreased groups post-treatment, which could be a biomarker for predicting metformin efficacy. Peak9 combined with other 11 N-glycans at baseline was used to establish the predictive model to distinguish non-response from response patients (AUROC = 0.780, sensitivity = 70.6% and specificity = 77.5%).
conclusionsSerum N-glycans may have potential value as biomarkers for indicating the efficacy of metformin.
