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

aimsThis study aimed to assess the association between myocardial infarction (MI) size and clinical outcome with ongoing Sodium-glucose-cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2-i) use. METHODS AND

resultsIn this retrospective single-center cohort study 681 patients with MI and diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between November 2015 and December 2023 were included. 105 patients received ongoing SGLT2-i therapy and 576 were taking other glucose-lowering medication at the time of admission. The primary outcome was the size of MI. MI size was determined by the peak high-sensitive troponinT (hs-TnT x ULN [upper limit of normal]) normalized on the endangered myocardial area (EMA). No significant statistical differences were observed in hs-TnT values (hsTnT x ULN: 55 [13-174] vs. 68 [22-182]; p = 0.36) and EMA (41 [29-59] vs. 35 [24-59] %; p = 0.24) between patients with and without SGLT2-i therapy. After augmented inverse-probability weighted analyses, ongoing SGLT2-i therapy was not significantly associated with a reduced MI size (difference between means hsTnT x ULN/EMA [1/%]: - 0.24 [95% confidence interval, - 2.95 to 2.48]; p = 0.54). Secondary outcomes were in-hospital major adverse events and length of intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. SGLT2-i use was not associated with fewer in-hospital adverse events (3.81, vs. 4.17% [95% CI, - 2.95 to 2.48], p = 0.94) or with fewer days on ICU (1 [1-1] vs. 1 [1-2] days, p = 0.78).

conclusionIn this retrospective cohort study of T2DM patients presenting with MI, prior prescription of SGLT2-i was not associated with reduced MI size or fewer adverse events during hospitalization for MI treated with PCI.
