Clinical value of adding Dapagliflozin in patients with nephrotic syndrome.

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
backgroundSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in nephrotic patients on immunosuppression are underexplored. We evaluated dapagliflozin's impact in non-diabetic primary nephrotic syndrome.
methodsRandomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 60 non-diabetic primary nephrotic syndrome patients, equally assigned to dapagliflozin and control groups. All patients received the standard of care medication and the Dapagliflozin group received 10 mg dapagliflozin in addition. Demographic data, nephrotic syndrome etiology, proteinuria levels, eGFR, and immunosuppression doses, were well-matched. After 6 months of follow up primary outcomes included changes in and eGFR.
resultsBoth groups exhibited significant reductions in proteinuria after 6 months, with the dapagliflozin group achieving a mean UPCR reduction of - 94.7%, and the control group - 86.7% (p < 0.001). However, the comparative change in proteinuria between both groups did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.158). Dapagliflozin initially led to a transient eGFR decline. Dapagliflozin also resulted in a significant mean body weight reduction (p < 0.001) and notable improvements in triglyceride levels compared to the control group (p = 0.045).
conclusionIn primary nephrotic syndrome patients, adjunct dapagliflozin may enhance the standard of care. While notable, the reduction in proteinuria was comparable to that of the control group by the study's end. Furthermore, after 6 months, eGFR remained stable in both groups. However, significant weight loss and serum triglyceride reduction were particularly pronounced in the dapagliflozin group. Further long-term investigations are necessary to address potential immunosuppression-related confounding effects in patients with primary glomerular disease.
