Risk of Dementia in Patients with Diabetes Using Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors (SGLT2i): A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression.

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
introductionDementia is quite prevalent and among the leading causes of death worldwide. According to earlier research, diabetes may increase the possibility of developing dementia. However, the association between antidiabetic agents and dementia is not yet clear. This investigation examines the association between the use of sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and the risk of dementia in patients with diabetes.
methodsUp to April 18, 2023, four databases-Europe PMC, Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane Library-were searched for relevant literature. We included all studies that examine dementia risk in adults with diabetes who use SGLT2i. Random-effect models were used to compute the outcomes in this investigation, producing pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsPooled data from seven observational studies revealed that SGLT2i use was linked to a lower risk of dementia in people with diabetes (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.34-0.61; p < 0.00001, I
conclusionsAccording to this research, taking SGLT2i reduces the incidence of dementia in people with diabetes by having a beneficial neuroprotective impact. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are still required in order to verify the findings of our research.
