Reduction in cardiovascular disease events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor versus a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor: A real-world retrospective administrative database analysis in Japan.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
AIMS/
introductionTo evaluate the benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with and without a CVD history. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective cohort study used Japanese hospital administrative data from the Medical Data Vision database (January 2015 to April 2020). Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 625,739) who were new users of an SGLT2i (n = 57,070; 9.1%) or DPP4i (n = 568,669; 90.9%) were included. Outcomes included hospitalization for heart failure (hHF), all-cause death (ACD) and the composite of hHF or ACD. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated using the inverse probability weighting Cox proportional hazards model to compare CVD event risks between treatment groups.
resultsCompared with DPP4i, SGLT2i was associated with a significant reduction in hHF risk among patients without a CVD history (HR 0.507, 95% confidence interval 0.283-0.907), but not in the full cohort or those with a CVD history. SGLT2i was associated with a significant risk reduction of ACD (HR 0.592, 95% confidence interval 0.481-0.729) and the composite of hHF or ACD (HR 0.712, 95% confidence interval 0.613-0.826), compared with DPP4i in the full cohort; similar results were observed among patients with and without a CVD history.
conclusionsIn this real-world study, SGLT2i versus DPP4i was associated with a significant reduction in hHF, ACD and hHF or ACD events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without a CVD history.
