Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors Following Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients Without Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Article in Clinical Medicine Insights. Cardiology, 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
Background: Sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown significant cardiovascular benefits in heart failure (HF) patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease. However, their safety and efficacy in non-diabetic patients without HF presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain understudied. Methods: Databases including MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were queried through August 2025 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Data were pooled using a random-effects model using risk ratios (RR) and mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Five RCTs involving 9,135 patients (SGLT2i: 4,581 and placebo: 4,554) were included. On pooled analysis, SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with significantly reduced first HF hospitalization (RR: 0.74, p=0.02), improved LVEF (MD: 2.08; p=0.002), and reduced NT-proBNP levels (MD: 12.81; p < 0.0001). No significant differences were noted in all-cause mortality and the composite of first HF hospitalization with all-cause mortality. Conclusion: In non-diabetic patients without HF, SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduce the first HF hospitalization and improve LVEF following AMI. The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that future research should evaluate the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in this patient population.
