  1. CI = confidence interval
  2. *Positive differences indicate that the incidence rate for the sitagliptin group is higher than the incidence rate for the non-exposed group. "0.0" and "-0.0" represent rounding for values that are slightly greater and slightly less than zero, respectively.
  3. †For malignant tumors n (%): 31 (0.9%) in the sitagliptin group and 26 (1.0%) in the non-exposed group.
