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

introductionRecent post hoc analyses indicate that patients with normal or low body mass index (BMI) benefit from sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor use. We aimed to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on renal and patient outcomes in patients with diabetes and normal or low BMI. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThis single-center retrospective cohort study included 5,842 adult patients with type 2 diabetes and BMI<23 kg/m

resultsOverall, 648 patients were selected for propensity score matching, of whom 216 (33.3%) were receiving SGLT2 inhibitors. The mean age and eGFR were 61.6 years and 84.7 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsSGLT2 inhibitor use may reduce the risk of eGFR decline and all-cause mortality even in low-risk patients with diabetes and normal or low BMI.
