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

backgroundSodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors increase survival rate in heart failure, but early initiation of these agents after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is controversial.

methodsWe searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and ClinicalTrial.gov for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and propensity score matched (PSM) cohort studies up to September 29,2024. Eligible studies of patients with acute MI that were assigned to either SGLT2 inhibitors or placebo were enrolled in final meta-analysis. The primary endpoint was heart failure hospitalization (HHF). Secondary endpoints were: all-cause mortality, stroke, cardiovascular mortality, stroke and composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).We conducted frequentist and Bayesian meta-analyses.

resultswe identified ten studies (7 RCTs and 3 PSMs) with 15,133 patients. Frequentist meta-analysis showed that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced HHF [RR:0.67 (0.47-0.95); I2: 57%], and MACE significantly decreased in the SGLT2 inhibitor group [RR:0.77 (0.60-0.98); I2: 46%]. Bayesian meta-analysis for HHF suggested a non-significant reduction [RR: 0.8 (95% CrI: 0.4-1.4)]. No significant reduction was observed in SGLT2 inhibitors group regarding all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal MI and stroke.

conclusionEarly initiation of SGLT2 inhibitors in acute MI was associated with reduced risk of HHF, though Bayesian analysis indicates uncertainty. MACE risk significantly reduced and no significant impact was observed on all-cause mortality, CV mortality, non-fatal MI and stroke.
