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

backgroundDespite the known effects of sodium-glucose-cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in halting chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and decreasing mortality from renal and cardiovascular causes, their use in patients with primary and secondary glomerular diseases maintained on immunosuppressive therapies (IST) has not yet been established.

methodsIn this open-label, uncontrolled study, SGLT2 inhibitors were prescribed to patients with glomerular diseases maintained on IST to assess the safety of their use.

resultsNine out of 17 patients had no diabetes. During a mean of 7.3 months follow-up duration, the incidence rate of urinary tract infection (UTI) was 1.6 per 100 person-months. The UTI episodes were successfully treated with antibiotic therapy without the need to discontinue SGLT2 inhibitors. There were no cases of acute kidney injury (AKI), ketoacidosis, amputation, or Fournier gangrene. Moreover, markers of kidney damage such as mean serum creatinine (decreased from 1.7 to 1.37 mg/dl) and mean proteinuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio decreased from 2669 to 858 mg/g) improved throughout the follow-up period.

conclusionSGLT2i are safe to use in patients with glomerular diseases on IST.
