Abstract
Aims: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown to reduce visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue. Although many systematic reviews have examined SGLT2i's effect on VAT and SAT, a focus analysis of dapagliflozin, one of the more commonly prescribe SGLT2i, has yet to been done. This study aims to determine the effect of dapagliflozin on reducing VAT and SAT in patients with chronic disease.
Methods: SCOPUS, PubMed, EBSCO, and LILACS databases were searched until December 26, 2023. Heterogeneity was determined using Cochran's Q test and quantified using the inconsistency index. The random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled standardize difference in means (SDM) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Duval and Tweedie trim and fill (DT), Egger's test, and Beggs-Muzamar's test were used to assess publication bias. PROSPERO: CRD42023426208.
Results: Twelve reports were included (treated = 299 and controls = 301). Overall, dapagliflozin treatment reduced VAT (SDM = - 0.406, 95% CI: - 0.526 to - 0.286, p < 0.001) and SAT (SDM = - 0.439, 95% CI: - 0.601 to - 0.278, p < 0.001). These results were stable as determined with a sensitivity analysis; however, there was potential publication bias. Two and three imputed studies were determined by the DT method for VAT and SAT, respectively. When stratified by pathology (obesity, T2D, and T2D/NAFLD), dapagliflozin treatment decreased VAT and SAT for all conditions. However, for specifically SAT, only when compared between T2D and T2D/NAFLD, T2D/NAFLD was associated with a twofold decrease (p = 0.003).
Conclusion: Treatment with dapagliflozin resulted in a significant reduction in VAT and SAT in patients with obesity, T2D, or T2D/NAFLD.

期刊介绍:
Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
