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

Introduction: Empagliflozin was shown to improve the clinical outcomes of cardiovascular diseases; however, its effects on cardiac structure and cardiac remodeling in patients with heart failure remain controversial to some extent. Aim: We conducted this meta-analysis to compare the effect of empagliflozin with placebo on cardiac structure and function among patients with heart failure. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from inception to December 20, 2024, to identify randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of empagliflozin with placebo on cardiac structure and function in patients with heart failure. A random-effects model (DerSimonian-Laird) was employed to pool data. Results: Four studies with 234 individuals in the empagliflozin group and 231 individuals in the placebo group were included. Compared to placebo, empagliflozin 10 (mg/day) significantly increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (WMD 2.96%, 95% CI (0.84, 5.09), Conclusions: Empagliflozin can significantly improve myocardial function and prevent myocardial remodeling in patients with heart failure.
