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: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors have demonstrated renoprotective effects in patients with CKD. However, concerns remain regarding their potential effect on bone mineral metabolism. This study investigated the impact of dapagliflozin on bone health in non-diabetic patients with CKD. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 100 non-diabetic adults with CKD and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 25-75 ml/min/1.73 m Results: Participants had a mean age of 53.5 ± 11.1 years, with no significant baseline differences between groups. Dapagliflozin significantly reduced proteinuria compared with placebo ( Conclusions: This exploratory randomized controlled trial did not demonstrate any meaningful impact of dapagliflozin on either bone turnover or QCT markers. While these findings provide reassuring preliminary evidence, larger studies are needed to definitively establish long-term bone safety of dapagliflozin in non-diabetic patients with CKD.
