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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a microvascular complication of diabetes, has been the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Accordingly, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) develop renal damage due to multiple metabolic and cardiorenal disease-related risk factors, including hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, and overnutrition/obesity. Despite multifactorial management including the administration of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, patients often do not experience sufficient suppression of DKD progression and, thus, remain at risk for ESKD. Recent studies on cardiovascular outcomes among patients with T2DM have clearly shown that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin, have cardiorenal protective effects apart from their glucose-lowering effects. In particular, SGLT2 inhibitors have been found to improve renal outcomes, including ESKD, by slowing renal function decline and reducing urinary albumin excretion through their class effect. The proposed mechanisms for the renoprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors include the action of tubulo-glomerular feedback system and attenuation of hypoxia and metabolic stress in proximal tubular cells mediated through the inhibition of excessive glucose and sodium reabsorption, increased erythropoiesis, or increased ketone body production.
