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
introductionLittle is known about the comparative effects of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA), or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) on the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in routine care, which may differ from the controlled setting of trials.
methodsObservational study comparing risks of AKI among new users of SGLT2i, GLP1-RA or DPP-4i in the region of Stockholm, Sweden, during 2008-2018. AKI was defined by ICD-10 codes and creatinine-based KDIGO criteria. We used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to adjust for 60 potential confounders, weighted Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios and absolute risks.
resultsWe included 17,407 participants who newly initiated DPP-4i (N = 10,605), GLP1-RA (N = 4448) or SGLT2i (N = 2354). Mean age was 63 years (39% women) and median (IQR) eGFR was 89 (73-100) ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionThis study of routine care patients initiating novel glucose-lowering drugs showed similar occurrence of AKI between therapies, and suggests lower risk for SGLT2i.
