The effect of SGLT2i on the GH/IGF1 axis in newly diagnosed male T2D patients - a prospective, randomized case-control study.

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
purposeTo investigate the effect of SGLT2i on the GH/IGF1 axis in male patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D).
methodsSixty male patients with newly diagnosed T2D were recruited, and randomly assigned to Metformin+SGLT2i group or Metformin group after baseline assessment. All patients received standard lifestyle interventions, and blood indices were obtained before and after 12 weeks of treatment.
resultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment with Metformin+SGLT2i, there were noteworthy improvements in patients' FPG (Fasting plasma glucose), HBA1c, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, TyG (Triglyceride-glucose) index and UACR (P < 0.05). Both IGF1 (P = 0.01) and the IGF1/IGFBP3 ratio (P < 0.01) considerably increased, while GH and IGFBP3 did not show significant changes. When comparing Metformin+SGLT2i group to Metformin group, SGLT2i significantly improved HOMA-IR [P = 0.04], and elevated IGF1/IGFBP3 ratio [P = 0.04], SGLT2i showed a tendency of increasing IGF1 (P = 0.10), but this was not statistically meaningful. There was no effect on GH and IGFBP3. Correlation analysis showed that blood IGF1 was negatively correlated with FPG, HBA1c, HOMA-IR, TyG index and positively correlated with IGFBP3. Regression analysis indicated that FPG and testosterone had a negative effect on blood IGF1 level, while HOMA-IR had no obvious effect.
conclusionIn male patients with newly diagnosed T2D, SGLT2i can increase IGF1/IGFBP3 ratio, alleviate insulin resistance, but has no significant effect on GH and IGF1 levels. Additionally, our study showed that Metformin+SGLT2i treatment resulted in an increase in blood IGF1 levels and improved insulin resistance, suggesting a potentially beneficial role of IGF1 in newly diagnosed T2D.
