Trial report in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 94 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have been reported to increase both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (C). This study aimed to determine how SGLT-2 inhibitors affect LDL and HDL-C subspecies.
methodsThis single center, open-label, randomized, prospective study included 80 patients with type 2 diabetes taking prescribed oral hypoglycemic agents. Patients were allocated to receive dapagliflozin (n = 40) or sitagliptin (n = 40) as add-on treatment. Fasting blood samples were collected before and 12 weeks after this intervention. Small dense (sd) LDL-C, large buoyant (lb) LDL-C, HDL2-C, and HDL3-C levels were determined using our established homogeneous assays. Statistical comparison of blood parameters before and after treatment was performed using the paired t test.
resultsDapagliflozin and sitagliptin comparably decreased HbA1c (0.75 and 0.63%, respectively). Dapagliflozin significantly decreased body weight, systolic blood pressure, plasma triglycerides and liver transaminases, and increased adiponectin; sitagliptin did not alter these measurements. LDL-C and apolipoprotein (apo) B were not significantly changed by dapagliflozin, whereas HDL-C and apo AI were increased. Dapagliflozin did not alter concentrations of LDL-C, but sd LDL-C decreased by 20% and lb LDL-C increased by 18%. Marked elevation in lb LDL-C (53%) was observed in individuals (n = 20) whose LDL-C was elevated by dapagliflozin. However, sd LDL-C remained suppressed (20%). Dapagliflozin increased HDL2-C by 18% without affecting HDL3-C. Sitagliptin did not alter plasma lipids or lipoprotein subspecies.
conclusionsA SGLT-2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin suppresses potent atherogenic sd LDL-C and increased HDL2-C, a favorable cardiometabolic marker. Although LDL-C levels are elevated by treatment with dapagliflozin, this was due to increased concentrations of the less atherogenic lb LDL-C. However, these findings were not observed after treatment with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, sitagliptin. Trial registration UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000020984).
