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.

2 · The registry

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

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are currently recommended in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to reduce serum glucose levels. Moreover, robust evidence has clearly demonstrated their beneficial cardiovascular and renal effects, making this class of drugs pivotal for the treatment of T2D, especially when complicated by diabetic kidney disease or heart failure. However, several other comorbidities are frequently encountered in T2D patients beyond these long-term diabetes complications, especially in the internal medicine setting. For some of these comorbidities, such as MAFLD and cognitive impairment, the association with diabetes is increasingly recognized, with the hypothesis of a common pathophysiologic background, whereas, for others, a coincident epidemiology linked to the ageing of populations, including that of T2D subjects, may be advocated. In the effort of personalizing T2D treatment, evidence on the potential effects of SGLT2i in these different clinical conditions is accumulating. The purpose of this narrative review is to update current literature on the effects of SGLT2i for the treatment of T2D in different clinical settings beyond glycaemic control, and to elucidate potential molecular mechanisms by which they exert these effects.
