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
backgroundPatients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remain at risk of adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes despite procedural advancements. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated cardiovascular and renal benefits across various patient populations; however, their role in patients undergoing TAVI remains unclear. This study is aimed at evaluating the association between SGLT2 inhibitor use and clinical outcomes in this population.
methodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing SGLT2 inhibitors versus non-SGLT2 inhibitors or standard care in patients undergoing TAVI. Major databases were searched through March 2026, with Embase updated through June 2026. Pooled analyses were performed using random-effects models to calculate risk ratios (RRs) and mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsFive studies involving 6111 patients (SGLT2 inhibitors: n = 2933; control: n = 3178) were included. In primary random-effects models, SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with lower all-cause mortality (RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.48-0.97, p = 0.03), heart failure (HF) hospitalization (RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.42-0.90, p = 0.01), and major adverse cardiovascular events (RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.48-0.96, p = 0.03). However, in REML/Hartung-Knapp sensitivity analyses, CIs crossed the null for all-cause mortality, HF hospitalization, MACE, and pooled hazard ratios. Mortality benefits were absent at 6 and 12 months and in the randomized trial but persisted in low left ventricular ejection fraction (RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.35-0.89, p = 0.01). No significant differences occurred in acute kidney injury, urinary tract infections, or echocardiographic parameters.
conclusionSGLT2 inhibitor use was associated with lower all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization after TAVI, but the evidence is limited by observational designs, heterogeneity, and low certainty for several outcomes. Further randomized trials are required.
