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
aimThis study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of bi-weekly cofrogliptin treatment as a replacement for daily dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
methodsThis multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled study assigned participants in a 1:1 ratio to either the daily DPP-4i group or the 10 mg cofrogliptin group. The DPP-4i group continued their original daily DPP-4i regimen for 24 weeks, whereas the cofrogliptin group discontinued the daily DPP-4i and received the investigational drug orally once every 2 weeks. All participants underwent 14-day continuous glucose monitoring at weeks 10-12 and 22-24 during the treatment period. The main endpoint was the change in glucose time in range (TIR; 3.9-10.0 mmol/L) from baseline to week 24. Additionally, the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire scores, adverse events, and hypoglycaemic events were compared between groups.
resultsThe enrolment period was from 31 January 2024 to 20 November 2024. A total of 64 participants were randomized to receive either cofrogliptin (n = 31) or a daily DPP-4i (n = 33). The least squares (LS) mean (standard error) change in TIR from baseline after 24 weeks was 0.037% ± 2.506% in the cofrogliptin group compared to -9.891% ± 2.435% in the daily DPP-4i group. The LS mean difference was 9.929% (95% confidence interval: 3.064%-16.793%), which was statistically significant (p = 0.0046). The incidence, classification, and severity of adverse events were similar between the two groups.
conclusionBi-weekly cofrogliptin treatment, instead of daily DPP-4i, could effectively control blood glucose levels in a 24-week treatment period and their fluctuations and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with T2DM.
