Two-year administration of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor brought about marked reduction of body fat independent of skeletal muscle amount or glycemic improvement in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

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
aimTo investigate long-term effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) on anthropometric and metabolic factors in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective observation study. Forty-six outpatients with T2DM (32 men and 14 women, 51 ± 13 years old, BMI 27.9 ± 4.8, means ± S.D.) who had been treated by SGLT2i for 2 years were selected and their metabolic and anthropometric data were retrieved from medical records retrospectively. Regular instruction for diet and exercise had been performed throughout the administration of SGLT2i in outpatient clinic basis.
resultsBy the administration of SGLT2i for 2 years, body weight and body fat amount were significantly reduced (
conclusionSGLT2i can effectively reduce body weight and body fat mass independent of the blood glucose improvement or the renal function. Under the periodical instruction for nutrition and exercise this oral hypoglycemic agent can be safely administered for a long term without a risk for sarcopenia.
