1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Patients with coexisting type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represent a high-risk population with competing comorbidities, complex medication regimens, and overlapping inflammatory pathways. Although the role of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in managing type 2 diabetes is well-established, their impact on outcomes in diabetic patients with coexisting IBD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between SGLT2i use and hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mortality, IBD-related complications, and surgical procedures in diabetic patients with IBD. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network. Cohort 1 comprised diabetic patients with IBD who received SGLT2 inhibitors with at least three dispensations within one year of IBD diagnosis, and Cohort 2 comprised diabetic patients with IBD never prescribed SGLT2i, matched on baseline characteristics, comorbidities, IBD-specific medications, and laboratory values, yielding 3,950 patients per cohort. Clinical outcomes were evaluated at 1 and 5 years following the index event. Results: At 1 year, hospitalization, ICU admission, and mortality were significantly lower in Cohort 1 [risk ratio (RR): 0.886, P<0.001; RR: 0.851, P=0.03; and RR: 0.525, P<0.001, respectively]. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated improved survival in Cohort 1 [94.27% Conclusions: SGLT2i therapy in diabetic patients with IBD was associated with reduced hospitalization, ICU admission, and mortality, with persistent benefits observed at both 1 and 5 years of follow-up. Reductions in IBD-related complications and surgical procedures were observed, particularly at 1 year. These findings suggest a potential disease-modifying role warranting further prospective investigation.
