F1000Research 2025, 14 :329 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.162502.1 ) First published: 25 Mar 2025, 14 :329 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.162502.1 ) Latest published: 25 Mar 2025, 14 :329 ( https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.162502.1 ) Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) and post-transplantation DM (PTDM) is a well-recognized transplant comorbidity. Despite the distinct pathophysiological mechanisms, both conditions contribute to poorer prognosis and decreased survival rates in kidney transplantation recipients (KTRs). 1 , 2 A recent meta-analysis indicated a significant increase in all-cause mortality and graft failure in PTDM patients with hazard ratios (HR) of 1.67 and 1.35, respectively. 3 Moreover, transplant recipients carry a significantly higher cardiovascular (CV) risks compared to the general population. 4 , 5 This risk is further heightened with comorbid pretransplant DM or PTDM. 6 , 7 For instance, a long-term study in KTRs reported that PTDM and pretransplant DM were associated with a 1.2-fold and 5.1-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality, respectively, with CV events being the leading cause of death. 7 Therefore, in order to improve outcomes among kidney transplant patients, it is crucial to prioritize proper glycemic control and reduce CV risks. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors demonstrate substantial potential in mitigating cardiovascular risks and improving long-term renal outcomes. 8 , 9 The EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial first reported the CV benefits of Empagliflozin in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients, demonstrating a notable decrease in CV death. 10 Subsequently, there has been a surge of interest in SGLT-2 inhibitors. Several meta-analyses have consistently demonstrated a reduction in the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke and CV deaths as well as a reduction in hospitalized heart failure. 11 , 12 In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), strong evidence from large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has consistently shown that SGLT-2 inhibitors can significantly reduce kidney disease progression and cardiac death by 28-39%. 20 – 22 These reno-protective effects are particularly notable in patients, irrespective of coexisting type 2 diabetes (T2DM). 9 Nevertheless, there remains a paucity of large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and comprehensive meta-analyses to conclusively validate the efficacy and safety profile of SGLT-2 inhibitors in KTRs. As a result, clinical guidelines for the administration of SGLT-2 inhibitors in this specific population are currently constrained. A recent meta-analysis 13 performed in 2020, comprising 8 studies involving a total of 132 participants, has provided evidence of the effectiveness of SGLT-2 inhibitors in treating DM among KTRs. The analysis demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors effectively lower HbA1c levels, reduce body weight, and preserve kidney function, without reporting any serious adverse events. Previous research has primarily concentrated on evaluating differences between baseline and study endpoint measures, rather than employing a comparative analysis with a control group. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis to compare the outcomes of SGLT-2 inhibitors with control groups. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors in terms of renal benefits, glycemic control, metabolic profile improvement, mortality, and CVD outcome, as well as the safety profiles of SGLT-2 inhibitors among KTRs. Methods Search strategy and selection criteria The meta-analysis was conducted following a registered protocol in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; CRD42023404886). A systematic literature search of PubMed, Cochrane and Scopus databases from the inception until October 23, 2024 was conducted independently by three investigators (K.B., P.K. and P.P.). The search terms, including “Kidney” AND “Transplant” AND “Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor” were used to assess the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors among kidney transplant recipients. Supplement material ( Supplement; Table S1 ) provides a comprehensive description of the search strategy employed. The search was limited to human studies, and no language restrictions were applied. Additionally, a manual search of the references of the included studies was conducted for additional relevant studies. The implementation and reporting of this meta-analysis adhered to the standards of the PRISMA Statement. 14 Studies were included in this meta-analysis if they were observational (case-control or cohort) or clinical trials that evaluated cardiovascular and kidney outcomes of SGLT-2 inhibitors compared to a control group in adults aged 18 years or older who had undergone kidney transplantation. Eligible studies had to report alterations in at least one of the following outcomes: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), body mass index (BMI), and adverse outcomes. Studies that primarily reported other outcomes or that included other glucose lowering medications without a subgroup report for SGLT-2 inhibitors alone were excluded. Retrieved studies were independently reviewed for eligibility by three investigators (K.B., S.A. and P.P.). Discrepancies were resolved through discussion among all authors. Data extraction and quality assessment Data collection was done independently by three investigators (K.B., S.A. and P.P). A standardized data collection form was used to collect the following variables from each included study: study title, author names, publication year, study type, the country where the study was conducted, study drugs, number of participants, age, gender, type of DM (T2DM vs PTDM), transplant duration, immunosuppressive drugs, follow-up time, eGFR, UPCR, HbA1c, BMI, SBP, DBP, and adverse events. The quality of each study was independently assessed by each investigator (P.P. and P.K.). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2) tool 15 (Supplement; Table S2), while non-randomized control studies were evaluated by the Risk of Bias In Non-randomized Studies – of Interventions (ROBIN-I) tool 16 (Supplement; Table S3). Publication bias was examined by a funnel plot. Statistical analysis This meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager (RevMan) [Computer program] Version 5.4. The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020. The differences in effects were reported as risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for dichotomous outcomes and the weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CIs for continuous outcomes. In cases where the required data was not originally provided in the articles, we procured it through direct communication with the investigators. Participants in RCTs were analyzed in intention-to-treat groups. Heterogeneity was evaluated using χ 2 and/or the I 2 statistic, where an I 2 value above 50% or a p-value below 0.1 indicated significant heterogeneity. In cases of significant heterogeneity, a random-effect model was employed for the meta-analysis. Publication bias was assessed by funnel plot. 17 . Planned subgroup analysis for the primary outcomes stratified by the types of publication (observational studies vs. controlled trials) was not performed due to insufficient data. For all analyses, statistical significance was defined as a p-value less than 0.05. Results Study characteristics Our search strategy identified a total of 611 potential articles as shown in Figure 1 , with 92 duplicates identified and subsequently removed. The remaining 519 articles underwent an initial screening based on their titles and abstracts, leading to the exclusion of 351 articles due to their lack of relevance. Consequently, 168 articles underwent a full comprehensive review. 161 studies were excluded based on factors such as publication type, lack of outcomes of interest, inappropriate population of interest, ongoing trials, and full-text unavailable. As a result, a total of 7 studies were included in this meta-analysis, consisting of 5 retrospective cohort studies, 17 – 21 1 RCT, 22 and 1 prospective interventional trial, 23 with baseline characteristics summarized as shown in Table 1 .

These agents were primarily indicated for T2DM (74%) more than PTDM (26%). Specific SGLT-2 inhibitors prescription was reported in 383 participants from 5 studies, 17 – 19 , 22 , 23 empagliflozin was the most frequently administered, accounting for 48%, followed by canagliflozin (28%), dapagliflozin (20.6%), ipragliflozin (1.8%), luseogliflozin (1.3%), and tofogliflozin (0.3%). In the control group, only one RCT 22 used a placebo, while the remaining studies 17 – 21 , 23 utilized other hypoglycemic agents, including insulin, metformin, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, and sulfonylurea. Insulin was prescribed for 13.4% of 2,451 patients, whereas metformin was the most common oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA), accounting for 57% of 2,380 patients evaluated, 18 – 20 , 22 followed by DPP-4 inhibitors, which accounted for 54% of 1,252 patients evaluated. 18 – 20 The median total follow-up duration was 9 [9, 12] months. Most patients were male (67%) with a mean age of 53.1 ± 11.7 years and a BMI of 24.7 ± 4.3 kg/m 2 . The baseline HbA1c was 7.3 ± 1.4, and the duration of DM was reported in only 2 studies 17 , 23 with a mean of 13.0 ± 10.1 years among 99 patients evaluated. Notably, only 15% of the 2,501 patients evaluated 17 – 19 , 21 , 23 had a history of coronary artery disease (CAD). In terms of baseline allograft function, the mean serum creatinine (Cr) was 1.2 ± 0.5 mg/dL among 2,154 evaluated patients, 17 , 19 , 23 and the mean eGFR was 67 ± 21 ml/min/1.73 m 2 among 2,451 evaluated patients. Of the 200 available patients, the mean UPCR was 293 ± 919 mg/g of Cr. 17 , 18 , 22 , 23 The time since transplant ranged from 3 months to 7.4 years with a median duration of 1.8 [0.3, 5.6] years. Nearly two-thirds (77%) of 2,454 reported patients received kidneys from living-donors. 17 , 19 – 22 The most predominant immunosuppressive medication was tacrolimus. Among 2,226 patients, the tacrolimus trough level was 5.9 ± 1.7 ng/mL. 18 , 19 , 22 , 23 Efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on kidney-related outcomes Kidney related outcomes were evaluated based on changes in eGFR and reductions in UPCR from baseline. Among 6 studies, 17 – 20 , 22 , 23 the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors did not result in a significantly higher eGFR compared to the control, with a weighted median difference (WMD) of 0.69 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (95%CI -0.96, 2.34; p = 0.41; I 2 = 55%) as shown in Figure 2A . In terms of UPCR reduction, only 3 studies 17 , 18 , 22 involving 186 patients reported no statistically significant decrease in UPCR during the follow-up period (WMD = 9.42 mg/g; 95%CI -18.93, 37.76; p =0.51, I 2 = 0%) as shown in Figure 2B . Figure 2. Forest plots of the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on kidney-related outcomes. Efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on metabolic profiles Across 6 studies, 17 – 20 , 22 , 23 SGLT-2 inhibitors resulted in a significant reduction in HbA1c levels by -0.37% (95% CI -0.73, -0.01; p = 0.04) compared with the control, with significant heterogeneity (I 2 = 93%) as shown in Figure 3A . Additionally, SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly reduced BMI from baseline compared with the control, with a WMD of -0.89 kg/m 2 (95% CI -1.27, -0.50, p <0.001, I 2 = 55%) as shown in Figure 3B . Figure 3. Forest plots of the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on metabolic profiles. However, regarding the effect on blood pressure, data on systolic blood pressure (SBP) were reported in only 3 studies 18 , 20 , 22 involving a total of 297 patients. The analysis revealed no significant reduction in SBP with SGLT-2 inhibitors compared to the control, with a WMD of -0.18 mmHg (95%CI -8.57, 8.21; p = 0.97), with significant heterogeneity (I 2 = 89%) as shown in Figure 3C . Efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular diseases Among the 7 studies involving 2,168 patients, there were only 40 deaths reported, primarily in 3 studies. 17 , 19 , 21 Over a 9-month follow-up period, SGLT-2 inhibitors showed significantly reduced all-cause mortality compared to placebo, with a risk ratio (RR) of 0.25 (95%CI 0.06, 0.98; p = 0.05; I 2 = 33%) as shown in Figure 4A . Figure 4. Forest plots of the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on mortality and CVD. Regarding CV outcomes only 3 studies 18 , 20 , 21 involving 253 patients assessed the impact of SGLT-2 inhibitors on cardiovascular disease (CVD). Over a follow-up period of 9 months, SGLT-2 inhibitors showed significantly reduced CVD compared to the control, with a risk ratio (RR) of 0.41 (95%CI 0.17, 0.98; p = 0.04; I 2 = 0%) as shown in Figure 4B . Adverse events of SGLT-2 inhibitors There were no significant differences in adverse events incidence between the SGLT-2 inhibitors and the control group. In terms of infection, SGLT-2 inhibitors did not significantly increase the risk of overall urinary tract infection (UTI), compared to the control group, with a RR of 0.51 (95% CI 0.25, 1.01; p = 0.05) with a significant heterogeneity (I 2 = 79%) across 7 studies 17 – 23 as shown in Figure 5A . When specifically examining genital mycotic infections, only 4 studies with 2,438 patients reported outcomes. 17 , 19 , 21 , 22 SGLT-2 inhibitors also did not significantly increase the risk of genital mycotic infection compared to the control, with a RR of 0.88 (95% CI 0.19, 4.08; p = 0.87; I 2 = 18%) as shown in Figure 5B . Of 2 studies 20 , 22 involving 212 patients that evaluated the outcome of urosepsis, SGLT-2 inhibitors also did not significantly increase the risk of urosepsis, with a RR of 1.33 (95% CI 0.17, 10.58; p = 0.79; I 2 = 0%) as shown in Figure 5C . Figure 5. Forest plots of the adverse events of SGLT-2 inhibitors. Regarding other adverse events, SGLT-2 inhibitors did not significantly increase the risk of allograft rejection compared to the control, with a RR of 0.53 (95% CI 0.11, 2.44; p = 0.23; I 2 = 31%) across 3 studies, 17 , 18 , 22 involving 186 patients as shown in Figure 5D . There were no any diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) cases reported among included studies. Evaluation of publication bias The funnel plots depicting standard error by mean differences and risk ratios were evaluated, as illustrated in Supplemental Figure S5-S7 (Refer Extended data). These assessments revealed no significant evidence of publication bias, as the plots exhibit symmetry. Discussion Our systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the safety and efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors among KTRs. Our findings indicate that SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly reduced HbA1c and BMI compared to the control, without increasing adverse events, including infection and allograft rejection. Notably, while SGLT-2 inhibitors showed no measurable impact on kidney-related outcomes, they conferred a substantial benefit by markedly reducing mortality and cardiovascular disease risk among KTRs. In non-transplant population, a recent meta-analysis of large placebo-controlled trials demonstrated a significant 37% reduction in the kidney disease progression among T2 DM patients using SGLT-2 inhibitors. 24 This kidney benefit was consistent across subgroups, regardless of diabetic status, primary kidney diseases, or kidney function. 24 The renal benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors can be attributed to increased urinary glucose excretion, leading to osmotic diuresis and enhanced excretion of sodium and fluid. 25 This helps mitigate glomerular hyperfiltration, reduce renal inflammation and fibrosis, and preserve renal function. 25 Based on these findings, similar renal benefits may be anticipated in the context of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). However, the mechanism of SGLT-2 inhibitors, which promotes glucose excretion via urine, could potentially increase infection risk—an important concern in this population. In contrast to findings in the non-transplant population, our meta-analysis revealed a neutral impact of SGLT-2 inhibitors on kidney function, as assessed by eGFR and UPCR. This finding was consistent with a previous meta-analysis by Chewcharat et al, 13 which demonstrated no significant decline in eGFR and UPCR by the end of the study with SGLT-2 inhibitors. This neutral effect may be attributed to the comparatively shorter follow-up periods, with a median duration of 12 months. In contrast, non-transplant studies typical have 2-3 years follow-ups, during which the renal benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors, especially in eGFR, become more pronounced compared to the placebo group after 12 months. 26 – 28 Given that KTRs have a significant elevated risk of CV death, 10 to 20 times higher than the general population, 5 , 29 SGLT-2 inhibitors have been proposed as a new hope in this group. Previous meta-analysis in non-transplant CKD patients have shown promising results for SGLT-2 inhibitors in reducing composite CV death or hospitalization for heart failure, with a remarkable 23% decrease compared to placebo. These finding were observed in patients with an average baseline eGFR of 65 mL/min/1.73 m 2. 24 The recent EMPA-KIDNEY trial, 26 and DAPA-CKD trial, 27 which included CKD patients with eGFR as low as 20 and 25 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , respectively, demonstrated a significant reduction in CV death: 16% with empagliflozin and 31% with dapagliflozin over a 2-year follow-up period. This benefit was consistent across a range of eGFR levels, though KTRs were not included in these trials. Despite the absence of large-scale studies specifically involving KTRs, our meta-analysis reveals that SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly reduce mortality and cardiovascular disease in this unique population, offering a compelling new therapeutic avenue to address their elevated cardiovascular risk. Regarding the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors on metabolic profiles, the reduction of 0.37% in HbA1c levels compared to the control group aligns with previous meta-analyses conducted by Okinomaki et al. 30 and Chewcharat et al., 13 which reported reductions of 0.45% and 0.57% in HbA1c levels from baseline, respectively. Our findings demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors are also effective when compared to standard therapies, including insulin and other oral hypoglycemic agents. Given that tacrolimus can elevate blood glucose levels by inducing insulin resistance and increasing glucose absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, 31 it should be noted that 82.5% of our patients received tacrolimus as part of their immunosuppressive regimen. Moreover, our meta-analysis showed that SGLT-2 inhibitors also benefit BMI, with a significant reduction of 0.89 kg/m 2 compared to the control. This is consistent with the previous 2 meta-analyses conducted in non-diabetic adults with overweight, which reported a reduction of 0.47 kg/m 2 compared to placebo. 32 , 33 Within current clinical practice, concerns persist regarding the potential adverse events associated with SGLT-2 inhibitors, particularly UTIs 13 and DKA, 34 which may pose a greater risk for KTRs due to their concurrent administration of immunosuppressive agents. 35 However, our meta-analysis observed that SGLT-2 inhibitors did not increase risk of serious infection, including UTIs, genital mycotic infection, and urosepsis, compared to the control group. Notably, a meta-analysis conducted by Li et al., 36 evaluating UTIs and genital infections in non-transplant T2DM patients, revealed that only dapagliflozin 10 mg exhibited a significantly higher incidence of UTIs than placebo. In our analysis, only 20.6% of cases was prescribed with dapagliflozin. The overall infection rate of SGLT-2 inhibitors was comparable to that of the control group. Importantly, our study did not find an increase rate of genital infection with SGLT-2 inhibitors, unlike in non-transplant population. 36 This may be attributed to the effective routine post-transplant screening, care, and patient education in transplant clinics. Additionally, our meta-analysis demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors did not increase the risk of DKA and graft rejection. Therefore, our findings shed new light on the safety profile of SGLT-2 inhibitors in kidney transplant recipients. To the best of our knowledge, our meta-analysis included the most recent studies investigating the efficacy and safety outcomes of SGLT-2 inhibitors in KTRs. This encompasses both preexisting T2DM and PTDM status and is the first to assess mortality and cardiovascular outcomes, which was absent from previous meta-analysis. 13 However, certain limitations must be acknowledged. Firstly, there are limited studies in our systematic review due to the lack of current studies in KTRs populations, which most existing studies are case series or observational designs without control groups. Secondly, there was significant heterogeneity among included studies, particularly in HbA1c, SBP, and UTI outcomes. This may result from the limited number of studies and the different types of studies for each outcome. Thirdly, the subgroup analysis based on study types (clinical trial vs cohort) and DM type (T2DM vs PTDM) could not be performed due to the limited available data in the included studies. Fourthly, the funnel plots for publication bias need to be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of included studies. Lastly, the follow-up duration in included studies might not have been sufficiently long to fully elucidate the potential renal benefits with SGLT-2 inhibitors. Conclusion SGLT-2 inhibitors have demonstrated significant benefits in reducing mortality and cardiovascular disease in diabetes KTRs. Furthermore, they effectively reduced HbA1c and BMI compared to controls, without increasing adverse events, including infections and allograft rejection. However, these agents did not show a significant benefit in kidney-related outcomes.

Continue reading READ ALL This manuscript does not meet the scientific, statistical, or interpretive standards required for publication as a meta-analysis and should be rejected in its current form. Although the topic is clinically relevant, the analysis is fundamentally flawed and the conclusions are misleading. The authors rely predominantly on small retrospective observational cohorts with heterogeneous comparator groups and inadequate adjustment for confounding, yet present pooled mortality and cardiovascular outcomes as though derived from robust randomized evidence. The mortality signal, based on only 40 events from three studies with short follow-up, is statistically fragile and unsuitable for causal inference, particularly in a transplant population where competing risks and selection bias are profound. Likewise, cardiovascular benefit is asserted from fewer than 300 patients across three cohorts, representing an insufficient evidential base for clinical recommendations. A major methodological error is the inappropriate use of a random-effects model as a default analytic strategy. While random-effects modeling is theoretically justified when studies estimate different underlying effects, it is not a solution for combining fundamentally incomparable designs and exposures. In this manuscript, randomized trials, uncontrolled interventional studies, and retrospective cohorts are improperly pooled; more critically, control arms ranging from placebo to insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, and DPP-4 inhibitors are treated as if they were equivalent. Under these conditions, random-effects modeling merely averages bias rather than accounts for heterogeneity. This issue is magnified in outcomes with sparse events, where random-effects weighting disproportionately favors small, unstable cohorts and can artificially amplify significance. The authors neither justify model choice nor conduct influence analysis, leave-one-out testing, or meta-regression to explore extreme observed heterogeneity (e.g., HbA1c I² > 90%), instead defaulting to random-effects without methodological rationale. The result is spurious numerical precision with little biological or clinical meaning. The renal analysis—the central justification for transplant relevance—is underpowered and inconclusive. Proteinuria outcomes are based on fewer than 200 patients, and eGFR analyses show substantial heterogeneity with no detectable effect. Despite this, mechanistic speculation on kidney protection is presented in the discussion without supporting evidence. Safety conclusions are equally unreliable: infection, rejection, and ketoacidosis outcomes are derived from short-term datasets with very wide confidence intervals in an immunosuppressed population, yet the authors assert clinical safety based on non-significant findings—a classic misinterpretation of statistical non-difference as proof of absence of harm. Statistical rigor is notably lacking. Multiplicity across many secondary endpoints is ignored. Funnel plots are used inappropriately in a dataset with too few studies to meaningfully assess publication bias. Heterogeneity is reported but not interrogated. Planned subgroup analyses were abandoned without analytical restructuring. The manuscript repeatedly imports mechanistic and outcome evidence from non-transplant populations to support conclusions in kidney transplant recipients, ignoring the unique pharmacology, immunosuppressive interactions, and metabolic profiles of this cohort. The Discussion and Conclusions substantially overstate the evidence, with language implying disease-modifying, cardioprotective, and mortality-reducing effects that are not supported by the data. The recurring framing of SGLT-2 inhibitors as a “therapeutic breakthrough” in kidney transplantation is unsupported and risks misleading readers into inappropriate extrapolation. At best, the current evidence supports cautious short-term glycemic and weight effects; it does not justify claims of cardiovascular protection, safety assurance, or survival benefit in this population. This is not a failure of reporting but of design, methodology, and interpretation. Without study-level stratification, comparator-specific analyses, conservative inference, and elimination of causal language, this work does not meaningfully advance knowledge and carries a significant risk of clinical misinterpretation.

Continue reading READ ALL Article Overview This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with diabetes. After comprehensive literature search including observational and clinical trials they collected seven studies. There results indicated that SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduced mortality, cardiovascular disease, HbA1c and BMI without increasing risk of infections and allograft rejection however it did not show clear benefit in kidney outcomes. Strengths The systematic review and meta-analysis helped to gather data randomly from the related studies reducing the bias and strengthening the findings. The improvement in diabetes related and cardiovascular end-points supported the effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors in managing diabetes in KTRs. The absence of serious adverse events, specifically the urinary tract and genital infections, supports the safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in this population. Limitations The majority of the included studies were case series and not randomized controlled ones, which is understandable from the available studies in the literature, but this may introduce bias and limit the generalizability of the results. The criteria for selection may be tight to allow some more studies, specially early ones, to be included. The selected studies have different designs and inclusion criteria which makes the comparison difficult. The median follow-up period was 9 (9,12) months, which may not be enough to assess renal outcomes and detect long-term complications or benefits. Clinical Implications The study results support the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in managing diabetic KTRs with reasonable safety. However, the limitations highlight the need of larger randomized controlled trials including also non-diabetic KTRs with longer follow up duration to confirm these findings and lay down the guidelines for their use. Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis will add to the knowledge on the use of SGLT2i for KTRs. It should also stimulate further research to validate these findings and establish a comprehensive treatment guidelines. N.B. in the title " ...

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions Article Overview This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with diabetes. After comprehensive literature search including observational and clinical trials they collected seven studies. There results indicated that SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduced mortality, cardiovascular disease, HbA1c and BMI without increasing risk of infections and allograft rejection however it did not show clear benefit in kidney outcomes. Strengths The systematic review and meta-analysis helped to gather data randomly from the related studies reducing the bias and strengthening the findings. The improvement in diabetes related and cardiovascular end-points supported the effectiveness of SGLT2 inhibitors in managing diabetes in KTRs. The absence of serious adverse events, specifically the urinary tract and genital infections, supports the safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in this population. Limitations The majority of the included studies were case series and not randomized controlled ones, which is understandable from the available studies in the literature, but this may introduce bias and limit the generalizability of the results. The criteria for selection may be tight to allow some more studies, specially early ones, to be included. The selected studies have different designs and inclusion criteria which makes the comparison difficult. The median follow-up period was 9 (9,12) months, which may not be enough to assess renal outcomes and detect long-term complications or benefits. Clinical Implications The study results support the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in managing diabetic KTRs with reasonable safety. However, the limitations highlight the need of larger randomized controlled trials including also non-diabetic KTRs with longer follow up duration to confirm these findings and lay down the guidelines for their use. Conclusion This systematic review and meta-analysis will add to the knowledge on the use of SGLT2i for KTRs. It should also stimulate further research to validate these findings and establish a comprehensive treatment guidelines. N.B. in the title " ...
