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

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most fast evolving global issues characterized by hyperglycemia. Patients with diabetes are considered to face with higher risks of adverse cardiovascular events. Those are the main cause of mortality and disability in diabetes patients. There are novel antidiabetic agents that selectively suppress sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2). They work by reducing proximal tubule glucose reabsorption. Although increasing evidence has shown that SGLT-2 inhibitors can contribute to a series of cardiovascular benefits in diabetic patients, including a reduced incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and protection of extracardiac organs, the potential mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibitors' cardiovascular protective effects are still not fully elucidated. Given the important role of inflammation and metabolism in diabetic cardiovascular diseases, this review is intended to rationally compile the multifactorial mechanisms of SGLT-2 inhibitors from the point of immunity, inflammation and metabolism, depicting the fundamental cellular and molecular processing of SGLT-2 inhibitors exerting regulating immunity, inflammation and metabolism. Finally, future directions and perspectives to prevent or delay cardiovascular complications in DM by SGLT-2 inhibitors are presented.
