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

Background: The sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin has been demonstrated cardiovascular benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Methods: We conducted an 8-week, single-arm clinical trial, which enrolled 12 patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy. These patients were treated with SGLT2i dapagliflozin (10 mg/day). We assessed changes in clinical parameters pertinent to glucose metabolism and risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), as well as alterations in the gut microbiota using macrogene sequencing. Results: Improvements were observed in anthropometric parameters, glucose metabolism, blood lipid-related indices, inflammatory markers, and endothelial cell function-related parameters. Concurrently, SGLT2i led to changes in composition and functional pathways of the gut microbiota, manifested as increased abundance of probiotics and decreased abundance of harmful bacteria. Importantly, reduced abundance of Conclusion: SGLT2i represents a superior initial therapeutic option for T2DM patients at risk of CVD. The cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2i may be attributed to shifts in the gut microbiota, particularly the reduced abundance of
