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

Background: Blood pressure (BP) control remains a therapeutic challenge in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) lower BP in diabetic and chronic kidney disease patients. Whether this effect extents to KTRs remains to be fully established. We explored the BP lowering potential of SGLT2i, by examining their effects on BP and their influence on antihypertensive drugs prescriptions. Methods: Using the French observational multicenter ASTRE database, we collected systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), weight and drugs, at baseline and at 3 and 6 months after SGLT2i initiation. To evaluate the impact of SGLT2i on other anti-hypertensive drugs management, we used metric such as the defined daily dose (DDD) and the hypertensive index (HTi). Results: Two hundred thirty-four patients were included in the analysis, nearly all had hypertension and 63% had diabetes. By the 3-month mark, there was a significant 4 mmHg reduction in SBP and DBP, which was sustained at 6 months, with decreases of 2.5 mmHg and 3 mmHg (respectively for SBP and DBP). The DDD remained stable. HTi decreased by 14 and 9.5 points at 3 and 6 months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, female sex was associated with a more significant reduction in SBP and HTi. Conclusions: In KTRs newly treated with SGLT2i, BP decreased at 3 and 6 months, while the overall antihypertensive load, as assessed by DDD, remained stable. Similar effects were observed on HTi. These findings suggest SGLT2i as an effective adjunctive therapy for lowering BP in hypertensive KTRs, regardless of diabetes status.
