Benefits and Harms of Drug Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials
BMJ 2023;381:e074068 DOI 10.1136/bmj-2022-074068
Keeping abreast of the rising volume of randomized trials in adults with type 2 diabetes presents a formidable task. Recent randomized trials have shown cardiovascular and kidney advantages with finerenone, an innovative non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, and weight loss with tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.

Empagliflozin and Incidence of Events Consistent With Acute Kidney Injury: Pooled Safety Analysis in More Than 15,000 Individuals
Diabetes Obes Metab 2022;24:1390-3 doi: 10.1111/dom.14694
In this pooled analysis of patients from the global empagliflozin trial programme, the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute kidney disease (AKD) with empagliflozin was comparable with placebo. This comprehensive analysis indicates that empagliflozin is not associated with an increased risk of acute kidney failure compared with placebo treatment.
