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

Purpose: Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have demonstrated cardioprotective effects in people with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In this patient group, there is treatment equipoise, from the standpoint of cardiovascular effect between these medication classes; however, factors associated with prescribing are poorly characterized. Methods: We performed a retrospective real-world analysis by creating an electronic health record registry of people with type 2 diabetes and ASCVD (without additional indications for a specific cardioprotective class) who received a prescription for either an SGLT2i or GLP-1RA. We analyzed patient-, provider-, and clinical encounter-related predictors of being prescribed an SGLT2i or GLP-1RA using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 573 eligible patients received either SGLT2i ( Conclusion: Prescriber's specialty strongly determined the selection of cardioprotective agents. Treatment guidelines should provide more specific guidance regarding patient selection and consider the holistic benefits of each drug class beyond their cardiovascular protective effects.
