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

Background This retrospective real-world study evaluated saroglitazar 4 mg in Indian adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and dyslipidemia. Methods Six hundred patients receiving saroglitazar 4 mg at Dr Aravind's Diabetes Centre, Bengaluru, were assessed at baseline, four months, and six months. Glycemic, lipid, hepatic, FibroScan, renal, and anthropometric parameters were analyzed using paired t-tests. Results Significant improvements were observed across all outcomes (p<0.0001). Fasting blood sugar (FBS) decreased by 101.81 mg/dL, postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) by 111.58 mg/dL, and HbA1c from 8.90% to 7.61%. Triglycerides reduced by 163.34 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) increased by 9.25 mg/dL, and total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) decreased. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and body weight also improved. Conclusion Saroglitazar 4 mg significantly improved glycemic, lipid, hepatic, renal, and weight-related outcomes over six months in patients with T2DM and dyslipidemia.
