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

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors assert their role as an anti-diabetic medication by reversibly inhibiting sodium-glucose cotransporters in the renal proximal tubules and resulting in enhanced glucose excretion. Due to their reversible effect on the transporters in the proximal tubule, it is expected that all their metabolic effects, including glucose excretion, should also cease in two to three days, as per their half-life of 10-15 hours. However, it is increasingly being observed that the glycosuric effect of SGLT2 inhibitors persists beyond this duration and, in many cases, exceeds their other known metabolic effects, which resolve sooner. We present a case report of a 53-year-old diabetic male who developed SGLT2 inhibitor-related euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EuDKA) two days after being discharged post a laparoscopic appendectomy procedure. The patient was treated as per the recommended protocols, after which ongoing metabolic acidosis abated, but the patient's urinary glucose remained on the higher end. We present an up-to-date review of existing evidence on this rare but serious side effect of SGLT2 inhibitors.
