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

backgroundIt is unclear whether the time-varying mediation effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on the three-point major adverse cardiovascular event (3P-MACE) outcomes, including nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death, via HbA

methodsA causal mediation analysis was applied to assess the mediation effects of HbA

resultsIndividual-level data consisting of 9340 (liraglutide: 4668; placebo: 4672) and 3297 (semaglutide: 1648; placebo: 1649) subjects from the LEADER and SUSTAIN-6 trials, respectively, was utilized for this study. The study population aged around 64.2-64.4/64.4-64.8 years old, with 64.0%-64.5%/58.5%-63.0% of males, and having a diabetes duration of 12.8-12.9/13.2-14.3 years in the LEADER/SUSTAIN-6 trials, respectively. Among study populations, those established CVDs (e.g., heart failure, stroke, myocardial infarction) accounted for 14.0%-35.4% in the LEADER trial, whereas 13.7%-61.9% in the SUSTAIN-6 trial. At the end of each trial, HbA
