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

objectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with particular focus on renal and cardiovascular outcomes.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 9,915 diabetic patients aged ≥65 years who received antihyperglycemic therapy at Changhua Christian Hospital, Taiwan, between January 2021 and September 2023. Patients were categorized as SGLT2 inhibitor users (

resultsSGLT2 inhibitor use was associated with significant renoprotective effects, demonstrated by reduced risk of 30% eGFR decline (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.59-0.80,

conclusionsIn elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitors demonstrate significant renal protective effects, particularly among those with preserved renal function (eGFR ≥50 mL/min/1.73 m
