Use of Anti-Diabetic Agents in Non-Diabetic Kidney Disease: From Bench to Bedside.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
New drugs were recently developed to treat hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). However, metformin remains the first-line anti-diabetic agent because of its cost-effectiveness. It has pleiotropic action that produces cardiovascular benefits, and it can be useful in diabetic nephropathy, although metformin-associated lactic acidosis is a hindrance to its use in patients with kidney failure. New anti-diabetic agents, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, and sodium-glucose transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, also produce cardiovascular or renal benefits in T2D patients. Their glucose-independent beneficial actions can lead to cardiorenal protection via hemodynamic stabilization and inflammatory modulation. Systemic hypertension is relieved by natriuresis and improved vascular dysfunction. Enhanced tubuloglomerular feedback can be restored by SGLT-2 inhibition, reducing glomerular hypertension. Patients with non-diabetic kidney disease might also benefit from those drugs because hypertension, proteinuria, oxidative stress, and inflammation are common factors in the progression of kidney disease, irrespective of the presence of diabetes. In various animal models of non-diabetic kidney disease, metformin, GLP-1R agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors were favorable to kidney morphology and function. They strikingly attenuated biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in diseased kidneys. However, whether those animal results translate to patients with non-diabetic kidney disease has yet to be evaluated. Considering the paucity of new agents to treat kidney disease and the minimal adverse effects of metformin, GLP-1R agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors, these anti-diabetic agents could be used in patients with non-diabetic kidney disease. This paper provides a rationale for clinical trials that apply metformin, GLP-1R agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors to non-diabetic kidney disease.
