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

backgroundThe novel sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) potentially ameliorates heart failure and reduces cardiac arrhythmia. Cardiac fibrosis plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HF and atrial myopathy, but the effect of SGLT2i on fibrogenesis remains to be elucidated. This study investigated whether SGLT2i directly modulates fibroblast activities and its underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND

resultsMigration, proliferation analyses, intracellular pH assay, intracellular inositol triphosphate (IP3) assay, Ca

conclusionsBy inhibiting NHE, empagliflozin decreases the expression of phosphorylated PLC and IP3 production, thereby reducing ER Ca
