Benefits of Taking Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant cause of cardiovascular deaths worldwide. There are many oral antihyperglycemic drugs available to treat diabetic patients. Among them, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors provide effective treatment in all stages of T2DM regardless of blood glucose levels and benefit the cardiovascular system. SGLT2 inhibitors have an additional diuretic effect that reduces blood pressure and hospitalizations and improves heart failure outcomes. This study will assess the efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors in cardiovascular outcomes in patients with T2DM and cardiovascular disease. Our systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and involved a literature search utilizing PubMed and Google Scholar databases. In addition, we thoroughly searched for studies conducted in the last 10 years that corresponded with our outlined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Our search yielded 779 articles. The articles were then quality-checked before inclusion. We ultimately selected six randomized controlled trials and two meta-analyses of research articles after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Our research study included 91,796 T2DM and cardiovascular disease patients. We examined cardiovascular outcomes among these T2DM patients, such as major adverse cardiac events (MACE), blood pressure, heart failure, and hospitalizations. Our study showed that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduce weight and blood pressure due to their natriuretic effects. In addition, they also improve heart failure symptoms and reduce hospitalizations.
