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
introductionIpragliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor approved in Japan as an adjunct to insulin therapy for the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hypoglycemia (SH) have been specified as important identified risks for ipragliflozin; however, real-world data on the incidences of these events are limited. We compared the incidences of initial DKA and SH in patients with T1D newly treated with ipragliflozin in combination with insulin versus those treated with insulin.
methodsThis post-marketing surveillance study used data from the JMDC Claims Database between June 2018 and December 2021. Using propensity score matching, patients with T1D were matched 1:10 to the ipragliflozin/insulin group and insulin group. For each treatment group, incidence rates (IRs) of DKA and SH were plotted on a Kaplan-Meier curve, and IRs per 1000 patient-years (PY) were calculated. The risks of DKA and SH were compared between the treatment groups by calculating the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a Cox proportional-hazards model.
resultsThe incidence of DKA was not significantly different between the ipragliflozin/insulin and the insulin groups (log-rank p = 0.793); the IRs of DKA were 8.3 and 8.5 per 1000 PY, respectively (HR 0.902, 95% CI 0.418‒1.945; p = 0.792). The incidence of SH was significantly lower in the ipragliflozin/insulin group versus the insulin group (log-rank p = 0.001). The IRs of SH per 1000 PY were 6.6 and 21.7, respectively (HR 0.284, 95% CI 0.126‒0.637; p = 0.002).
conclusionsIpragliflozin/insulin combination therapy showed no difference in the incidence of DKA, but a lower incidence of SH, versus insulin therapy in patients with T1D in Japan. These results suggest that ipragliflozin treatment is not associated with increased incidences of initial DKA or SH; however, its use should be accompanied by appropriate monitoring, education, and risk mitigation strategies to minimize the occurrence of these events.
