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: Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is the leading cause of non-tumor-related mortality among patients with tumors. Although sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have been shown to confer cardiovascular benefits, their effects and safety profile in patients with cancer remain uncertain. The objective of this study was to assess the cardiovascular effects of SGLT2is in patients with cancer. Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis of cohort studies to compare the efficacy and safety of SGLT2is and placebo in patients with cancer. Results: A total of ten cohort studies, encompassing 85,185 patients, were included in this study. SGLT2is significantly decreased mortality (Risk ratios (RR) 0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.36, 0.75), I Conclusion: The present study suggest that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors may be an efficacious and safe means for improving the prognosis of patients with cancer and diabetes. However, future large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to further validate the results.
