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

backgroundSodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are antidiabetic oral drugs that act on proximal renal tubules promoting renal glucose excretion. Although SGLT-2i belong to the class of hypoglycemic agents, in the last years great interest has emerged in studying their pleiotropic effects, beyond their ability to lower glucose levels. PURPOSE: In this review we are describing the anti-inflammatory and immunological properties of SGLT-2i; furthermore, we are addressing how the mechanisms associated with the aforementioned anti-inflammatory properties may contribute to the beneficial effects of SGLT-2i in diabetes.

methodsA systematic search was undertaken for studies related the properties of SGLT-2i in reducing the inflammatory milieu of acute and chronic disease by acting on the immune system, independently by glycemia.

resultsRecently, some data described the anti-inflammatory and immunological properties of SGLT-2 in both pre-clinical and clinical studies. Numerous data confirmed the cardio- and -renal protective effects of SGLT-2i in patients with heart failure and kidney diseases, with or without diabetes.

conclusionsSGLT-2i are promising drugs with anti-inflammatory and immunological properties. Despite the mechanism of action of SGLT-2i is not fully understood, these drugs demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects, which may help in keeping under control the variety of complications associated with diabetes.
