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

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) acts as a key element in the reabsorption of glucose in the kidney. Currently, SGLT-2 inhibitors are FDA-approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is suggested that the mechanism of action may operate in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), as well. This study aimed to evaluate the application of empagliflozin as an adjunctive to insulin in patients with T1D. Methods: In this double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical study, 60 type 1 diabetic patients were randomly assigned to have either once-daily empagliflozin 10 mg or placebo, as an addition to insulin for 12 weeks. The hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood sugar (FBS), 2-hour post-prandial blood sugar, and anthropometric indices were measured before and after 12 weeks intervention. Results: After 12 weeks, empagliflozin resulted in significant reductions of hemoglobin A1C -0.18 (95% CI: -0.37, 0.005, Conclusion: The present study supported the use of empagliflozin alongside insulin as a treatment option for individuals with T1D.
