1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Introduction: Large-scale trials showed positive outcomes of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether the use of SGLT2i is safe and effective in patients with the common hereditary CKD Alport syndrome (AS) has not yet been investigated specifically in larger cohorts. Methods: This observational, multicenter, international study (NCT02378805) assessed 112 patients with AS after start of SGLT2i. The study's primary end point was change of albuminuria in albumin/g creatinine from the start of therapy. Results: Compared to randomized trials investigating the effect of SGLT2i in CKD, the adult patients in this study were younger (aged 38 ± 14 years) and had a better estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, 63 ± 35 ml/min per 1.73 m Conclusion: This study indicates that, additive to renin-angiotensin system (RAS)-inhibition (RASi), SGLT2i have the potential to reduce the amount of albuminuria in patients with AS. Future studies are needed to investigate the long-term effects of SGLT2i on CKD progression in patients with AS to assess whether the observed reduction in albuminuria translates to a delay in kidney failure (KF).
