Correlation between the utilization of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and the risk of dementia: a nationwide population-based study in Taiwan.
Article in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SLGT2i) usage on reducing the risk of dementia remains uncertain. Our research seeks to establish the association between dementia risk and SLGT2 inhibitors among individuals with diabetes. This study relied on data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database (NHIRD), which was established in 1995 coinciding with the launch of the National Health Insurance (NHI) program by the Taiwanese government. The NHI program was implemented to enhance the healthcare system and public health in Taiwan. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) administered SGLT2i between 2016 and 2019 were included in the SGLT2i cohort. The comparison cohort consisted of patients who did not receive SGLT2i, propensity score matching by sex, age (in 5-y intervals), index date year, insurance fee, urbanization, comorbidities, and medications, with a 1:1 ratio of the exposure group. SGLT2i users had a significantly lower risk of dementia than non-SGLT2i users after adjusting for age, sex, insurance fees, urbanization, comorbidities, and medications (adjusted HR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.50-0.57). The results revealed that patients treated with SGLT2i have a lower risk of dementia in Taiwan.
