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

backgroundBexagliflozin and velagliflozin are currently the only sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating diabetes in cats. There are limited real-world safety reports on their associated adverse events (AEs). HYPOTHESIS/

objectivesTo analyze AEs associated with bexagliflozin and velagliflozin using real-world data from the FDA Animal Drug Adverse Events (ADAE) database. ANIMALS: None.

methodsAE reports submitted for cats receiving bexagliflozin and velagliflozin. Data were obtained from the ADAE database up to the second quarter of 2025. Disproportionality analysis was conducted employing four algorithms: the reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio, Bayesian confidence propagation neural network, and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker.

resultsOf the 34 187 AE reports for cats, 2876 were related to bexagliflozin and 2776 to velagliflozin. AEs associated with bexagliflozin spanned 22 system organ classes (SOCs), with stronger signals observed for weight fluctuation, glucosuria, and diabetic ketoacidosis. Velagliflozin-related AEs occurred in 19 SOCs, with higher RORs for ketonuria, hypochloremia, and acid-base disorders. Bexagliflozin was associated with stronger signals for DKA and ketosis, whereas velagliflozin showed stronger signals for ketonuria and hypochloremia. Velagliflozin-related AEs occurred earlier (median onset: 5 vs. 9 days), resolved more quickly (median duration: 8 vs. 14 days). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: This study provides a comprehensive safety profile of bexagliflozin and velagliflozin for diabetes in cats. These findings support veterinarians in implementing differentiated risk monitoring and individualized therapeutic decisions in the management of diabetes in cats.
