Effects of Dapagliflozin on Novel Inflammatory Markers in Heart Failure Patients.

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
Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been established to decrease hospitalizations and cardiac death within all heart failure groups. The exact mechanisms by which the oral antidiabetic medication dapagliflozin achieves this advantage are still unknown. The potential beneficial effects of dapagliflozin on inflammation and the immune system may contribute to these mechanisms. Method: The laboratory and echocardiographic data of 191 consecutive patients who were started on dapagliflozin due to heart failure were compared before and 6 months after the treatment began. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) were calculated using the following formulae: (platelet × neutrophil)/lymphocyte and (neutrophil × monocyte)/lymphocyte, respectively. Results: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 66.17 ± 10.7 years. A total of 156 patients (81.7%) had diabetes mellitus. Seventy patients (36.6%) had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), 31 (16.2%) had heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and 90 (47.1%) had heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). While no significant change was observed in echocardiographic parameters with dapagliflozin treatment ( Conclusion: With dapagliflozin treatment, the most recent inflammation parameters, SII and SIRI, have significantly decreased. This effect may be one reason for the cardiovascular benefits of dapagliflozin treatment.
