Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor empagliflozin in young people with Type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial.
Trial report in Diabetic medicine : a journal of the British Diabetic Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It reports registered trial NCT02121483. Cited by 37 papers, 3 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.

Abstract
aimsTo assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of a single dose of empagliflozin in young people with Type 2 diabetes to identify the appropriate doses for further paediatric development.
methodsWe conducted a single-dose, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study with empagliflozin 5 mg, 10 mg and 25 mg in young people with Type 2 diabetes aged 10-17 years.
resultsOf 39 participants screened, 27 were randomized and completed the study; their mean (± sd) age was 14.1±2.0 years and body weight was 96.7±23.5 kg. Compared with similar studies in adults with Type 2 diabetes, the maximum observed plasma concentrations were slightly lower with the 10-mg and 25-mg doses, and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve was slightly lower with the 10-mg but slightly higher with the 25-mg dose. The adjusted mean increases in urinary glucose excretion were 53 g/24 h (95% CI 32,74), 73 g/24 h (95% CI 52,94) and 87 g/24 h (95% CI 68,107), and the adjusted mean decreases in fasting plasma glucose were 0.9 mmol/l (95% CI -1.6,-0.1), 0.9 mmol/l (95% CI -1.7,-0.2) and 1.1 mmol/l (95% CI -1.8,-0.5) for the 5- 10- and 25-mg doses, respectively. There were no serious adverse events and one investigator-reported drug-related event (dehydration).
conclusionsAfter a single oral dose of empagliflozin, adults and young people with Type 2 diabetes had similar exposure-response relationships after adjusting for significant covariates. These data support testing 10-mg and/or 25-mg doses of empagliflozin in an upcoming paediatric phase III Type 2 diabetes trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration no.: NCT02121483).
