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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the additional effects of empagliflozin on liraglutide in patients with advanced-stage type 2 diabetic kidney disease. Patients and Methods: Forty-one patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to treatment with liraglutide alone during the first 6 months and subsequent treatment with liraglutide plus empagliflozin during the next 6 months (liraglutide plus empagliflozin group) (n = 20) or treatment with liraglutide alone for 12 months (liraglutide group) (n = 21). Liraglutide was administered subcutaneously once daily at a starting dose of 0.3 mg/day and up-titrated weekly by 0.3 mg to a maximum dose of 0.9 mg/day. Empagliflozin was administered orally at a dose of 10 mg once daily. The primary outcome was the change in renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate) during the latter 6 months. Secondary outcomes were changes in body weight, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, uric acid, blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and urine protein creatinine ratio during the latter 6 months. Results: Empagliflozin significantly increased the hemoglobin concentration (from 12.9 ± 1.9 to 13.7 ± 1.9 g/dL; p<0.05) and decreased body weight (from 66.1 ± 12.9 to 64.5 ± 12.6 kg; p<0.05). No significant differences were observed between the groups for estimated glomerular filtration rate, systolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, uric acid, blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and urine protein creatinine ratio. Conclusion: Empagliflozin increased hemoglobin concentration and decreased body weight in patients with advanced-stage type 2 diabetic kidney disease who received liraglutide. However, empagliflozin did not provide short-term benefits with regard to renal function decline, urinary protein excretion, or glycemic control in these patients.
