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

Diabetes increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular and renal events. Recently, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular complications and slow diabetic kidney disease progression in patients with type 2 diabetes. The glycaemic control exerted by these drugs is not greater than the one achieved with other classical glucose-lowering medications such as sulphonylureas. For that reason, plausible renoprotective mechanisms independent from glycaemic control have been proposed such as blood pressure control, body weight loss, intraglomerular pressure reduction and a decrease in urinary proximal tubular injury biomarkers. Interestingly, the hypothesis that SGLT2 inhibitors have a direct renoprotective effect has been addressed in diabetic and non-diabetic models. In this editorial, we update the different postulated mechanisms involved in the cardiorenal protection afforded by SGLT2 inhibition in chronic kidney disease.
