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

Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have rapidly emerged as a novel therapy to reduce the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). With humble beginnings in the 19th century for treating malaria, this class of drugs initially developed for the treatment of diabetes has now revolutionized the management of heart failure and CKD. SGLT2 inhibitors trigger glucosuria, thus modestly improving glycemic control. In addition, they have pleiotropic effects, such as reducing intraglomerular pressure and improving tubuloglomerular feedback, which lead to their beneficial effects on CKD progression. Recent data from randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of this class of drugs in CKD. We briefly review the evidence from major trials on SGLT2 inhibitors in CKD, discuss the mechanisms of action and provide an overview of the safe and successful prescription of these medications.
