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 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been found to have potential hematopoietic effects in patients with heart failure (HF). However, these benefits have not been studied in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). CA patients present with HF symptoms and often suffer from iron deficiency, which has a negative impact on erythropoiesis and leads to lower hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. We sought to determine the potential effects of SGLT2i on hematological parameters and functional capacity (FC) in CA patients. Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted to compare the effects of SGLT2i in patients who received the best medical therapy (BMT) along with SGLT2i (n = 20), versus patients receiving only BMT without SGLT2i (n = 20) (historical control group). All patients underwent blood testing and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) at baseline (BL) and after 6 months [interquartile range (IQR): 4.0 to 8.0]. Results: The SGLT2i-based therapy resulted in a significant improvement and difference in hematological parameters at 6 months follow-up compared to the control group. In the SGLT2i group, the mean hemoglobin level increased (+1.2 mg/dL), whereas in the control group, it decreased (-0.8 g/dL) ( Conclusions: SGLT2i therapy improved hematological parameters and stabilized the FC of CA patients.
