The Pleiotropic Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors: Beyond the Glycemic Benefit.

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
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of macro- and microvascular complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), heart failure (HF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Of the currently available glucose-lowering therapies, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) are the only class to target the pathophysiologic increase in renal glucose reabsorption in patients with T2D. In CV outcomes trials of SGLT-2is in patients with T2D and established CVD or varying levels of CV risk, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin were associated with significant improvements in the risk of composite CV and renal outcomes compared with placebo that extended beyond their glycemic effects. Real-world observational studies have also reported improvements in CV outcomes with SGLT-2is compared with other glucose-lowering therapy in routine clinical practice. This review describes the pleiotropic effects of SGLT-2is and discusses the potential mechanisms for these effects as well as how they potentially provide benefits beyond glycemic control in patients with T2D. These favorable nonglycemic effects indicate that SGLT-2is may be of particular benefit in patients with diabetic complications, such as CVD, HF, or CKD. Ongoing large randomized trials in specific patient populations, including those with CVD, HF, or CKD (with or without T2D), may help to confirm the benefits of SGLT-2is in these patients and further elucidate the potential mechanisms of their pleiotropic effects.
