P-value vs placebo

 
  1. Randomized patients data set.
  2. *Statistically significant at prespecified level.
  3. P-values only presented when permitted by sequential testing procedure.
  4. Adj: adjusted; BL: baseline; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; PPG-AUC: postprandial glucose–area under the curve; SAXA: saxagliptin; SE: standard error.
