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

There is currently an unmet need for effective treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that slows disease progression, prevents development of end-stage kidney disease and cardiovascular disease, and prolongs survival of patients with CKD. In the last 20 years, the only agents to show a reduction in the risk of CKD progression in patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) were angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, but neither drug class has provided a decreased risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CKD and evidence for their use in patients with CKD without T2D is relatively limited. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying the progression of CKD, its associated risk factors, and summarizes the potential therapeutic approaches for managing CKD. There is increasing evidence to support the role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor therapy in patients with CKD, including data from the designated kidney outcome trials in patients with T2D (CREDENCE) and in patients with or without T2D (DAPA-CKD). These studies showed a significant reduction in the risk of CKD progression with canagliflozin (in patients with T2D) or dapagliflozin (in patients with or without T2D), respectively, with DAPA-CKD being the first trial to show a reduced risk of all-cause mortality. On the basis of these data, individualized treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors represents a promising therapeutic option for patients with diabetic and nondiabetic CKD to slow disease progression.
