Impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on urinary tract infections in patients with diabetes mellitus and ileal urinary diversion: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe impact of sodium-glucose linked transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on urinary tract infection (UTI) risk remains uncertain and may be dose-dependent. No prior studies have evaluated their effect in patients with urinary diversion after cystectomy. This study evaluated the association between SGLT2i use and UTI in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) after cystectomy and ileal urinary diversion.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study including all patients with DM who underwent cystectomy with ileal urinary diversion between March 1996 and November 2023. Primary outcome was UTI occurrence, assessed by incidence rate and infection-free survival (IFS). Secondary outcomes included asymptomatic bacteriuria and glucosuria. UTI incidence rate was compared using Poisson regression. IFS was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test and Cox regression analysis.
resultsAmong 123 included patients with DM and ileal urinary diversion, 18 (14.6%) received SGLT2i therapy. Median follow-up was 35 months (IQR 12-83). Overall, 121 UTI were documented, 6 (5.0%) in patients with and 115 (95.0%) without SGLT2i treatment, corresponding to incidence rates of 0.206 vs. 0.210 UTI/patient/year (p = 0.959). Median IFS was 9 months (IQR 3-31) in the SGLT2i and 17 months (IQR 5-74) in the non-SGLT2i group, with no significant difference (p = 0.489).
conclusionIn this cohort, SGLT2i therapy was not associated with an increased risk of UTI in patients with DM and ileal urinary diversion after cystectomy. These findings suggest no evident signal for increased infection risk; however, prospective studies are warranted to confirm these observations.
