Early Initiation of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Acute Heart Failure: a Focus on Diuresis and Renal Protection.
Review in Cardiovascular drugs and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeAcute heart failure (AHF) represents a critical and life-threatening condition characterized by the sudden onset or exacerbation of symptoms, such as dyspnea and fluid retention, due to impaired cardiac function. Despite advances in the treatment of chronic heart failure (HF), the management of AHF remains challenging, with limited therapeutic options available. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have emerged as a promising drug class in AHF management. METHODS/
resultsThe objective of this article was to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing literature in the domain of SGLT2 inhibitors and their relevance in the context of AHF.
conclusionThe existing evidence underscores the importance of SGLT2 inhibitors in enhancing decongestive therapy for AHF patients. Early initiation appears both practical and beneficial, leading to improved and sustained decongestion, a reduction in heart failure-related events, enhanced quality of life, and decreased mortality rates, all while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Consequently, it should be considered to initiate SGLT2 inhibitor treatment as early and as safely as possible to facilitate effective decongestion. However, careful patient selection and monitoring are essential when considering the use of these drugs in the management of AHF.
