Real-Time Use of SGLT2i Verified in Pre-dialysis: The RSVP Cross-sectional 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
backgroundThe use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in nephrology practice is increasingly becoming standard of care in patients with diabetes or those with proteinuria.
objectivesThe primary outcome was to identify the proportion of pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) G3a, G3b, or G4 prescribed an SGLT2i and describe their characteristics.
methodsThis was a retrospective, multicentric, cross-sectional study of patients with CKD followed at 4 pre-dialysis clinics in the province of Quebec, Canada. We collected data of multiple covariates associated with prescribing SGLT2i in patients over 18 years of age with CKD G3a, G3b, or G4. We then performed a multivariate logistic regression to assess their associations.
resultsOf the 874 patients included, 22.7% were prescribed an SGLT2i. Factors most strongly associated included male sex (odds ratio [OR] = 4.88, 95% CI = 2.38-10.03), being prescribed metformin (OR = 4.30, 95% CI = 2.23-8.31), having type 2 diabetes (OR = 4.00, 95% CI = 1.86-8.62), or having an albumin-to-creatinine ratio greater than 300 mg/g (OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.08-3.14). The majority of patients (60.4%) had their SGLT2i initiated by the pre-dialysis clinic and the most frequent adverse event was an initial increase in serum creatinine 1 week after starting treatment (33.9%). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: An increasing number of patients with CKD are being prescribed SGLT2i. Nonetheless, significant disparities in sex, severity of disease, and comorbidities remain. We suggest that specific strategies be put in place to promote prescribing of SGLT2i in women and other at-risk populations, in particular among nephrology teams, to improve patient care.
