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

backgroundSodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce cardiovascular morbidity and delay the progression of kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanisms underpinning these benefits are not entirely clear. More specifically, it is uncertain whether these agents exert cardiorenal protective effects through a direct action on the vascular wall. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on markers of subclinical vascular damage.

methodsIn total, 40 adult patients with T2DM and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsIn total, 15 patients were treated with SGLT2 inhibitors and 25 patients were not receiving these agents. Serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were lower in the former whereas other cardiovascular risk factors, the prevalence of established cardiovascular disease, anthropometric and demographic characteristics, and vital signs did not differ between the 2 groups. The AIx was lower in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors (21.9 ± 11.3 vs. 29.7 ± 12% in patients not treated with SGLT2 inhibitors;

conclusionsTreatment with SGLT2 inhibitors appears to reduce arterial stiffness. Accordingly, these agents might improve cardiovascular outcomes not only in patients with T2DM and established cardiorenal disease but also in lower-risk patients.
