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

SGLT-2 inhibitors have recently emerged as an important class of oral drugs for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in patients with cardiovascular or renal impairment, recommended in all recent treatment guidelines. They have additional advantages of weight and blood pressure reduction but also pose problems like genitourinary infections. These drugs generally have a high cost making affordability a major consideration in their prescription in developing countries like India. A new molecule remogliflozin has been approved in India in 2019 after a phase 3 trial proved its efficacy and safety in comparison to dapagliflozin. This drug has been priced substantially lower than other SGLT-2 inhibitors, and despite the disadvantage of twice daily administration, it potentially reduces treatment cost to less than half compared to other molecules of this class. With a good tolerability profile on the basis of available safety data till date, remogliflozin could be a useful alternative for providing SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy in a country like India where out of pocket expenses for drug acquisition matter significantly for the general population. However, long term safety and efficacy data especially on cardiovascular and renal outcomes are currently lacking for the drug.
