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

backgroundModifiable cardiovascular risk factors are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia.

aimTo investigate the impact of sodium-glucose 2 co-transporter inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in Romanian patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

methodA retrospective study was conducted on 200 Romanian patients with T2DM who were being treated with SGLT-2i, either Dapagliflozin or Empagliflozin. Collected data included demographic characteristics, such as weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), creatinine, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), abdominal circumference (AC), urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), C-reactive protein (CRP) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The patients were observed for one year after being treated with SGLT-2i.

resultsThe mean value of FBG decreased from 180.00 mg% (IQR: 154.50-207.00) to 130.00 mg% (IQR: 117.50-150.00) (p < 0.001), and the mean of HbA1c values decreased from 8.40% (IQR: 7.98-9.15%) to 7.30% (IQR: 6.90-7.95%) (p < 0.001). We also obtained significant positive effects on body weight, i.e., the weight decreased from 90.50 kg (82.00-106.50) to 89.00 kg (77.50-100.00) (p = 0.018), BMI from 32.87 kg/m

conclusionTreatment with SGLT-2i in Romanian patients with T2DM has beneficial effects on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.
