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

objectiveSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk for heart failure hospitalization potentially by inducing sodium excretion, osmotic diuresis, and plasma volume contraction. Few studies have investigated this hypothesis, but none have assessed cumulative sodium excretion with SGLT2 inhibition during standardized sodium intake in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThe DAPASALT trial was a mechanistic, nonrandomized, open-label study in patients with type 2 diabetes with preserved kidney function on a controlled standardized sodium diet (150 mmol/day). It evaluated the effects of dapagliflozin on sodium excretion, 24-h blood pressure, and extracellular, intracellular, and plasma volumes at the start of treatment (ST) (days 2-4), end of treatment (ET) (days 12-14), and follow-up (FU) (days 15-18).

resultsFourteen patients were included in the efficacy analysis. Mean (SD) baseline sodium excretion (150 [32] mmol/24-h) did not significantly change during treatment (change at ST: -7.0 mmol/24-h [95% CI -22.4, 8.4]; change at ET: 2.1 mmol/24-h [-28.8, 33.0]). Mean baseline 24-h systolic blood pressure was 128 (10) mmHg and significantly reduced at ST (-6.1 mmHg [-9.1, -3.1];

conclusionsDuring standardized sodium intake, dapagliflozin reduced blood pressure without clear changes in urinary sodium excretion, suggesting that factors other than natriuresis and volume changes may contribute to the blood pressure-lowering effects.
