Cost of Glycemic Target Achievement with Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 Inhibitors in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in the UK.

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
introductionDiabetes-related costs make up a large portion of healthcare expenditures in the UK. Many of these costs are related to treatment of diabetes-related complications. Reducing HbA1c to <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) reduces the incidence of complications and comorbidities. Metformin plus sulfonylurea is the most common dual oral combination therapy in the UK. The costs of achieving HbA1c <7.0% in patients inadequately controlled on metformin plus sulfonylurea were analyzed for the sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin from the perspective of the UK National Health System.
methodsA Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to compare the proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled on metformin plus sulfonylurea that achieved HbA1c <7.0% after 26 weeks with canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg, dapagliflozin 10 mg, and empagliflozin 10 and 25 mg; odds ratios (ORs) and pairwise probabilities (P) for canagliflozin versus dapagliflozin and empagliflozin were calculated. The costs associated with achieving HbA1c <7.0% were estimated on the basis of medication costs and the proportion of patients achieving the HbA1c goal.
resultsNMA results showed that a higher proportion of patients treated with canagliflozin 300 mg achieved HbA1c <7.0% (41%) compared with those treated with dapagliflozin 10 mg (25%), empagliflozin 10 mg (23%), empagliflozin 25 mg (28%), or canagliflozin 100 mg (27%). The odds of achieving HbA1c <7.0% were greater with canagliflozin 300 mg than with dapagliflozin 10 mg (OR 2.03 [P = 94%]), empagliflozin 10 mg (OR 2.29 [P = 99%]), or empagliflozin 25 mg (OR 1.71 [P = 93%]). The per patient costs of achieving HbA1c <7.0% at 26 weeks were £881, £580, £951, £1034, and £849 with canagliflozin 100 and 300 mg, dapagliflozin 10 mg, and empagliflozin 10 and 25 mg.
conclusionsThis analysis suggests that, in the UK, canagliflozin 300 mg provides the best value for money among all SGLT2 inhibitors in terms of achieving HbA1c <7.0% when used as part of triple therapy with metformin plus sulfonylurea.
