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
backgroundPatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at high risk of adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes. While both sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) are widely used in this population, direct evidence comparing their long-term efficacy and safety after PCI remains scarce. This meta-analysis aimed to compare cardiovascular and renal outcomes between SGLT-2i and DPP-4i in patients with T2DM post-PCI.
methodsPubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched through June 2025. Primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, worsening renal function, and heart failure. We included primary studies and assessed the quality of studies using Newcastle Ottawa Scale. RevMan software was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using the random-effects model.
resultsWe analyzed the outcomes between SGLT-2i (n = 7,025 patients) and DPP-4i (n = 7,459 patients). The mean age was 62.7 years, and 77.4% were males. SGLT-2i significantly reduced all-cause mortality (HR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.54-0.79; P < 0.001) and the risk of worsening renal function (HR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.09-0.26; P < 0.001). They also demonstrated a significant reduction in heart failure events (HR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.48-0.74; P < 0.001). For myocardial infarction, a non-significant trend toward risk reduction with SGLT-2i was observed (HR = 0.85; 95% CI: 0.72-1.02; P = 0.08). For cerebrovascular accidents and the need for repeat revascularization (PCI/CABG), no significant difference was observed.
conclusionSGLT-2i demonstrates more clinical benefits, and current evidence supports its initiation over DPP-4i in T2DM patients after PCI.
