1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) has been reported to improve glycemic control. This study was designed to investigate the effects of SGLT2i dapagliflozin (dapa) on cardiomyopathy induced by isoproterenol (ISO) and its potential mechanisms. Fifty male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the control (n=10) and the ISO (2.5 mg/kg/day)-treated groups (n=40). After 2 weeks, the 28 surviving rats with obvious left ventricular dysfunction in the ISO group were randomized into three medication groups, including the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan group (S/V, n=9), the dapa group (n=9), and the ISO group (n=10) for 4 weeks. Next, electrical programmed stimulation was performed in all the groups to evaluate their susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Compared to the ISO rats, the dapa administration not only effectively reduced the cumulative risk of death, the myocardial fibrosis, the plasma angiotensin II levels and its functional receptor AT1R protein expressions in the heart, and the proinflammatory cytokine levels in the cardiac tissue of the ISO-treated rats, but it also improved their cardiac function and inhibited oxidative stress. These effects were similar to S/V. However, dapa showed a greater efficacy than S/V in reducing the left ventricular end-diastolic volumes, lowing the heart rates and VAs, and decreasing the body weights and plasma glucose levels. The mechanisms by which dapa exerts protective effects on cardiomyopathy may be related to its indirect antioxidant capacity and direct hypoglycemic action.
