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

purpose of reviewSodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) are increasingly prescribed due to their considerable benefits on clinical outcomes in people with diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hypertension is a common comorbidity in each of these disease states, increasing risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We herein review the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on blood pressure in different populations, proposed mechanisms of action, and the contribution of blood pressure lowering to end-organ protection. RECENT

findingsA recognised effect of SGLT2 inhibitors in recent clinical trials is blood pressure lowering, with multiple postulated mechanisms. This advantageous effect was first identified in populations with type 2 diabetes mellitus, prior to expansion of these trials to broader cohorts. On our review, we identified that the blood pressure lowering effect of SGLT2 inhibitors appears to be a dose-independent class-effect, with a magnitude of effect comparable to that seen with a low dose hydrochlorothiazide. There is considerable evidence demonstrating that this effect is observed across populations including those with type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and resistant hypertension.
