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
introductionCardiovascular risk in the course of diabetes depends greatly on glycemic variability which is even more significant than chronic hyperglycemia. Optimal management of diabetes involves a multidisciplinary approach focused in particular on decreasing the risk of atherosclerosis. Therefore, our purpose was to evaluate the impact of dapagliflozin on glucose excursions and related proatherogenic changes in the aortic wall. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Animal model of type 2 diabetes rich-fat/STZ rats was used. Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups: dapagliflozin-treated with glucose excursions, placebo-treated with glucose excursions and placebo-treated with stable diabetes. Dapagliflozin was administered once a day, 1 mg/kg, for 8 consecutive weeks. Glucose levels were measured twice a week at fasting and postprandially. The samples of aortas were taken for histopathological and immunochemistry examinations at the end of the experiment. The derangement in the aortic wall and the distribution of CD68
resultsDapagliflozin reduced glucose excursion to the level characteristic for stable, well-controlled diabetes. It was related to a significant decrease in histopathological changes which were observed in the placebo-treated rats with glucose variability. Dapagliflozin significantly reduced also the accumulation of CD68
conclusionDapagliflozin provides not only mere beneficial regulation of metabolic status with the depletion of glucose variability, but is also helpful in the prevention of early atherosclerosis related to the course of diabetes type 2.
