Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) Inhibitors in Heart Failure: An Umbrella Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Heart failure remains a leading cause of hospitalization and death, and presents a significant challenge for healthcare providers despite the advancements in its management. This umbrella review aimed to pool the results of meta-analyses on the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors in the treatment of heart failure patients. A literature search was done on five databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Global Index Medicus, and Science Direct for articles with full texts available online. Meta-analyses of five or more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included; the assessment of multiple systematic reviews (AMSTAR) was used to assess the quality of included studies. A systematic search identified 10 relevant meta-analyses of RCTs, with primary analyses including outcome data from 171,556 heart failure patients. A pooled review showed that SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly reduced the risk of heart failure hospitalization, cardiovascular death, mortality, serious adverse events, and improved quality of life. SGLT-2 inhibitors are likely safe and effective in managing patients with heart failure especially considering the acute outcomes.
