Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors on Water and Sodium Metabolism.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 papers, 3 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
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert hypoglycemic and diuretic effects by inhibiting the absorption of sodium and glucose from the proximal tubule. Currently available data indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors transiently enhance urinary sodium excretion and urinary volume. When combined with loop diuretics, SGLT2 inhibitors exert a synergistic natriuretic effect. The favorable diuretic profile of SGLT2 inhibitors may confer benefits to volume management in patients with heart failure but this natriuretic effect may not be the dominant mechanism for the superior long-term outcomes observed with these agents in patients with heart failure. The first part of this review explores the causes of transient natriuresis and the diuretic mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors. The second part provides an overview of the synergistic effects of combining SGLT2 inhibitors with loop diuretics, and the third part summarizes the mechanisms of cardiovascular protection associated with the diuretic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors.
