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

backgroundCardiovascular disease is on the rise globally, with ischemic heart disease being the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure, evidence is limited in guiding initiation in post-acute myocardial infarction (post-AMI) patients. Hence, this study aimed to appraise the current literature on the effect of SGLT2i on the clinical outcomes of post-AMI patients.

methodsA comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and ClinicalTrials.gov was conducted up to 1 May 2024. Only randomized controlled trials studying the use of SGLT2i in post-AMI patients were included. We included adult patients aged 18 years old and older diagnosed with AMI and initiated on SGLT2i in the acute post-AMI setting. SGLT2i studies solely in heart failure settings were excluded.

resultsEight clinical trials were included in the systematic review, comprising 11,436 patients. Compared with placebo, SGLT2i initiation in post-AMI patients significantly reduced total number of heart failure hospitalizations (risk ratio [RR] 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.62-0.90) and was associated with a lower N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level (- 26.67 pg/ml, 95% CI - 41.74 to - 11.59). There was no difference in all-cause mortality (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.81-1.28), cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.83-1.28), change in left ventricular ejection fraction, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), as compared with placebo.

conclusionSGLT2i use in patients with AMI was associated with a reduction in heart failure hospitalizations and a decrease in NT-proBNP. There were no significant differences in mortality outcomes. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO identifier number CRD42024540843.
