Ipragliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, reduces bodyweight and fat mass, but not muscle mass, in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients treated with insulin: A randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers, 9 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
AIMS/
introductionSodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce bodyweight (BW) by creating a negative energy balance. Previous reports have suggested that this BW reduction is mainly loss of body fat and that ~20% of the reduction is lean mass. However, the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on BW and body composition remain unclear. We examined these effects in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with insulin. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this open-label, randomized controlled trial, 49 overweight patients (body mass index ≥23 kg/m
resultsBW change was significantly larger in the ipragliflozin group than in the control group (-2.78 vs -0.22 kg, P < 0.0001). Total fat mass was reduced evenly in the arms, lower limbs and trunk in the ipragliflozin group. Total muscle mass and bone mineral content were maintained, but muscle mass in the arms might have been affected by ipragliflozin treatment.
conclusionsIpragliflozin treatment for 24 weeks resulted in reduced BW, mainly from fat mass loss. Muscle mass and bone mineral content were maintained. Further study is necessary to elucidate the long-term effects of ipragliflozin.
