Rationale and Design of Prospective, Multicenter, Double-Arm Clinical Trial to Investigate the Efficacy of Tofogliflozin on Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (TOP-HFPEF Trial).

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
backgroundRecent large clinical trials have revealed that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve cardiovascular outcomes not only in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but also in patients with heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is still controversial. METHODS AND
resultsThe TOP-HFPEF trial (Efficacy of Tofogliflozin on Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus) is a multicenter, double-arm, open-label, confirmatory, investigator-initiated clinical study to investigate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor on LV diastolic function in patients with HFpEF and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The participants are randomly assigned (1:1) to the tofogliflozin group (20 mg once daily) or the control group (administration or continuation of antidiabetic drugs other than SGLT2 inhibitors). The estimated number of patients to be enrolled in this trial is 90 in total (45 in each group). The participants are followed up for 52 weeks with tofogliflozin or control drugs. The primary endpoint is the change in E/e' assessed by echocardiography from the baseline to the end of this study (52 weeks). This trial will also evaluate the effects of tofogliflozin on cardiovascular events, biomarkers, other echocardiographic parameters, the occurrence of atrial fibrillation, and renal function.
conclusionsThe TOP-HFPEF trial will clarify the efficacy of an SGLT2 inhibitor, tofogliflozin, on LV diastolic function in patients with HFpEF and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
