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

introductionSodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors function not only to reduce hyperglycemia but also to ameliorate liver injury and reduce body weight. The aim of this study was to examine in which subjects SGLT2 inhibitors are more effective for glycemic control, liver injury, and obesity in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

methodsWe enrolled a total of 156 subjects with type 2 diabetes who initiated SGLT2 inhibitor treatment after September 1, 2014 in Kawasaki Medical School (Protocol No. 2375). We evaluated the alteration of glycemic control, liver injury, body mass composition, and various clinical parameters.

resultsSGLT2 inhibitors significantly ameliorated glycemic control and improved liver injury in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes. SGLT2 inhibitors were more effective for liver injury when glycemic control was improved with SGLT2 inhibitors. In multivariate analyses, the amelioration of glycemic control was an independent determinant factor for the improvement of liver damage in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes. The reverse was also correct; the improvement of liver damage was an independent determinant factor for the amelioration of glycemic control.

conclusionRecovery of liver injury with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment was closely associated with their effects on glycemic control in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes.
