Efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in T2DM with established cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Effective treatment approaches are required for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) because these two diseases pose a big health issue for humans. Various medications, but with limitations in their efficacy, are available for the treatment of the above-mentioned diseases, but a drug, empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, has shown promising benefits for patients with T2DM and CVD, highlighting the need for a thorough review of its efficacy and safety. Methods: We searched online databases till 30 June 2024, and a total of 15 trials involving 8296 participants were included in this study. Evaluating the changes in HbA1c was a main concern of our study, while weight-related metrics [such as body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI)], cardiovascular indicators [like systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), changes in left ventricular ejection fraction %, and heart rate], and various laboratory values [including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), C-reactive protein (CRP), hematocrit, estimated glomerular filtration rate] were considered as secondary assessments. Results: Our study concluded that empagliflozin significantly reduced HbA1c levels [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.62, 95% CI = -0.95 to -0.30, Conclusions: The efficacy of empagliflozin in managing T2DM and CVD is evaluated by this pooled analysis, highlighting great improvement in glycemic control and weight reduction. Further research is needed for empagliflozin's long-term safety and efficacy across populations.
