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

introductionDapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor developed for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), has shown multiple cardiovascular benefits. This study evaluated its effects on lipid profile and IR pattern in South Indian patients with T2DM and Heart Failure (HF).

methodsThis randomized trial was conducted over 180 days in 58 patients with T2DM and HF, assigned in a 1:1 ratio to standard therapy or standard therapy plus dapagliflozin 10 mg daily. Lipid, glycemic, and IR parameters were assessed at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.

resultsDapagliflozin group showed marked improvements in BMI (p = 0.01), TC (p = 0.02), TG (p = 0.01), HDL (p = 0.001), LDL (p = 0.002), and VLDL (p = 0.01), FPG (p = 0.0001), PPG (p = 0.002) and HbA1c (p = 0.01), HOMA-IR (p = 0.002), HOMA2%B (p = 0.003), and decreased insulin levels (p = 0.001) by 24 weeks. In contrast, significant changes were noted only in LDL (p = 0.01), HDL (p = 0.03), and TG (p = 0.01) in the standard group. A positive correlation was observed between the mean change in TG and HOMA-IR after 24 weeks of dapagliflozin treatment. DISCUSSION: Dapagliflozin improved lipid profile and reduced IR, demonstrating benefits in T2DM and HF patients, which aligned with the findings from the larger SGLT2i trials. Study limitations included the small sample size, single-center setting, and an open-label design.

conclusionDapagliflozin improved lipid and IR, highlighting its potential as an adjunctive therapy in patients with co-morbid T2DM and HF. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: CTRI/2024/01/06208.
