Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and fracture risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Article in Therapeutic advances in chronic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of fracture compared with those without T2DM. Some oral glucose-lowering agents may increase the incidence of fracture. Whether sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are associated with increased risk of fracture remains unclear.
methodsWe retrieved articles from
resultsA total of 78 RCTs with 85,122 patients were included in our analysis. The overall SGLT2i fracture incidence was 2.56%
conclusionCanagliflozin seems to increase the risk of fracture, while other SGLT2is do not result in a higher incidence of fracture.
