The Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors on Renal Function as Adjunctive to Insulin in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: An Updated Multilevel Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

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
introductionThis systematic review aimed to summarize the existing evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors on albuminuria levels and renal function in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D).
methodsThe literature search was performed through Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, and Scopus until November 11, 2023. Double-independent study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed. Evidence was pooled with three-level mixed-effects meta-analysis.
resultsIn total, 5221 participants with T1D among 11 RCTs were analyzed. All RCTs had low risk of bias according to the Cochrane Collaboration tool (RoB 2). SGLT inhibitors were associated with a significantly greater reduction in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) compared to controls (MD = - 23.13%; 95% CI = [- 33.69, - 12.57]; P < 0.001; level of evidence high). On the basis of subgroup analysis, this effect was consistent across all available SGLT inhibitors, irrespective of the dosage. Finally, a neutral class effect was observed on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, MD = - 1.03 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionOur findings suggest that adjunctive therapy with SGLT inhibitors results in a significant reduction in albuminuria, while their use is associated with a neutral effect on creatinine clearance, as a measure of renal function. Future renal outcome trials are needed to assess SGLT inhibitors' role in the pharmacological armamentarium against diabetic nephropathy in T1D.
