Plasma volume status in type 2 diabetes and its association with antidiabetic therapy.
Observational study in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundPlasma Volume Status (PVS), an index that quantifies the deviation of an individual's plasma volume from the expected volume, plays an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Although PVS expansion is well recognized in conditions like heart failure and chronic kidney disease, its relationship with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and antidiabetic treatment remains uncertain.
methodsWe conducted an observational study comparing PVS in adults with T2D and healthy controls matched for sex, age, and BMI. In a separate analysis of a larger T2D cohort, we investigated the association between PVS and different antidiabetic therapies. PVS was calculated using established formulas incorporating hematocrit, body weight, and sex.
resultsPVS was significantly expanded in individuals with T2D compared with healthy controls, with a mean difference of + 3.73% (95% CI 0.24 to 7.22, p = 0.041). Among individuals with T2D (n = 638 ), treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with a significantly lower PVS compared with the diet/metformin reference group (mean difference - 3.40%, 95% CI - 6.14 to - 0.66%, p = 0.015). The greatest reduction was observed under combined SGLT2i + GLP-1RA therapy (-6.50%, 95% CI - 12.25 to -0.75%, p = 0.004), while individuals on GLP-1RA showed non-significant lower PVS values (-2.10%, 95% CI - 5.48 to 1.28%). In contrast, those treated with DPP-4 inhibitors exhibited a significantly higher PVS (+ 4.15%, 95% CI + 0.05 to + 8.85, p = 0.008). No significant difference in PVS was found between insulin-treated individuals and those on diet/metformin.
conclusionsT2D is associated with a modest but significant increase in PVS. Among antidiabetic agents, SGLT2 inhibitors -alone or in combination with GLP-1 RA- were associated with a contraction in PVS, suggesting favourable hemodynamic effects. Conversely, DPP4 inhibitors were linked to more expanded plasma volume. These findings highlight the differential hemodynamic impact of glucose-lowering therapies and support further prospective research to evaluate their role in cardiovascular protection in T2D.
