The Association Between HbA1c Levels and the Risk of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in People with Type 2 Diabetes: A Post Hoc Analysis of the REPRESENT Study.

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
introductionThe aim of this work was to analyze the association between baseline glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and other factors on the risk of first myocardial infarction (MI) and on the risk of first stroke in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Spain.
methodsThis post hoc analysis of the REPRESENT study used the IQVIA electronic medical records database. Cumulative incidences were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression models were used to identify associated risk factors, including gender, age, HbA1c, or prior cardiovascular disease (other than MI/stroke).
resultsMedian follow-up was 7 years. In people without prior MI/stroke, the incidence (95% confidence interval [CI]) of first MI/stroke was 0.31 (0.28-0.34) and 0.18 (0.15-0.20) events per 100 patient-years, respectively. Baseline HbA1c levels < 6.5% were independently associated with lower risk of first MI (hazard ratio [HR] 0.76 [95% CI 0.61-0.94]) and of first stroke (HR 0.74 [95% CI 0.56-0.98]). Male sex, age ≥ 50 years, and previous cardiovascular disease were independently associated with a higher risk of MI/stroke.
conclusionsThis analysis found an association between baseline HbA1c levels < 6.5% and lower risk of a first MI or stroke in a T2D cohort in Spain, suggesting a role of stringent glycemic control in the prevention of cardiovascular complications.
