Analysis of specialist doctors' behavior towards SGLT2 inhibitors prescription in Indonesia: A qualitative study.
Article in Narra J, 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
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have a broad range of clinical indications and are recommended by various guidelines for the management of diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. However, prescribing rates for these agents are suboptimal towards various intended indications in many countries, including Indonesia. The aim of this study was to analyze the prescribing practices of SGLT2is among endocrinologists, cardiologists, and nephrologists in Indonesia. A qualitative method was utilized to provide a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon. Semi-structured online interviews were performed with 18 participants, comprising seven specialized doctors as primary informants; eight key informants representing pharmacies, governmental bodies, and pharmaceutical marketing representatives; and three patients as supplementary informants. Furthermore, closed observations of two specialist doctors were undertaken as an additional data collection method. Informants were recruited using criterion and snowball sampling methods. The Theoretical Domains Framework was used as an interview guide; all interviews were audio visual-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and subsequently analyzed for thematic content with NVivo version 12. Seven themes emerged concerning the prescribing behavior of SGLT2is: socioeconomic status, therapeutic rationality, utilization barriers, utilization optimization, the urge to prescribe, therapeutic expectations and targets, and aspects of the health system and ethical considerations. Most informants possessed favorable perspectives regarding using SGLT2is when prescribed appropriately, yet specific elements necessitate enhancement to refine therapeutic justification, including initiatives to incorporate SGLT2is into the national formulary.
