Effects of Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors on Lipid Profiles in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 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
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors provide cardiometabolic benefits in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, yet their effects on lipid metabolism are reported inconsistently across clinical trials and mechanistic studies and may vary with background statin therapy and differences in lipid measurement and reporting. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on conventional lipid parameters first and selected advanced lipid markers second in adults with type 2 diabetes. We searched multiple databases using predefined eligibility criteria and extracted data in duplicate. We assessed the risk of bias using design-appropriate tools and synthesized findings qualitatively because heterogeneity limited quantitative pooling. Overall, evidence across included studies suggests that SGLT2 inhibitors are essentially neutral with respect to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), with generally favorable directions for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides in some study settings. At the same time, findings on qualitative lipoprotein remodeling and advanced lipid phenotypes remain heterogeneous. These results support a lipid neutral to mildly favorable profile on standard lipid panels and emphasize the need for standardized reporting of advanced lipid measures and longer follow-up to clarify clinical relevance.
