Safety and clinical impact of SGLT2 inhibitor in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: a target-trial emulation study.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2026. 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
Objective: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiovascular outcomes in chronic kidney disease, but their effects in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients who are infection prone, remain unclear. Study design: The study design of this research is target-trial emulation using the global federated electronic health record database. Adults (18-90 years) with type 2 diabetes on PD for ≥3 months between February 2015 and June 2025 were included. Propensity score matching balanced SGLT2i and nonuser. Primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, severe sepsis, sepsis, and pneumonia; secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and PD-associated peritonitis. Results: Among 29 529 eligible patients, 2815 (9.5%) received SGLT2i. After matching, 2749 patients were retained in each group with well-balanced baseline characteristics. Over a median follow-up of 0.79 years, SGLT2i users were associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 0.818], severe sepsis (aHR 0.802), sepsis (aHR 0.661), pneumonia (aHR 0.664), and PD-associated peritonitis (aHR 0.340). MACE was not significantly different (aHR 0.798). SGLT2i was not associated with increased diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, genital infection, volume depletion, or amputation. Conclusions: In this large real-world PD cohort with type 2 diabetes, SGLT2i use was associated with lower risks of death and major infections without safety concerns, supporting potential benefit pending randomized trial confirmation.
