Cardiovascular and renal impairment are the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). As an emerging class of glucose-lowing agents sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), possesses beneficial effects on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with T2DM. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of different SGLT2 inhibitors for cardiovascular and renal outcomes for patients with T2DM when compared with placebo. We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library from inception through November 2021. Randomized clinical trials enrolling participants with T2DM were included, in which SGLT2 inhibitors were compared with each other or placebo. The primary outcomes including all-caused mortality, Cardiovascular outcomes (cardiovascular mortality, hospitalization for heart failure), and the renal composite outcomes (worsening persistent microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria, new or worsening chronic kidney disease, doubling of serum creatinine, end-stage renal disease, renal transplant, or renal death). The data for the outcomes were pooled and recorded as Hazard rations (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CLs). Two researcher independently screened the trials and drawn the data. Ten trials enrolling 68,723 patients were included. Compared with placebo groups, Canagliflozin [HR, 0.85 (95%CI, 0.75-0.98)], ertugliflozin [HR, 0.93 (95%CI, 0.78-1.11)], and sotagliflozin [HR, 0.94 (95%CI, 0.79-1.12)] were associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality. Canagliflozin [HR, 0.84 (95%CI, 0.72-0.97)], dapagliflozin [HR, 0.88 (95%CI, 0.79-0.99)], empagliflozin [HR, 0.62 (95%CI, 0.49-0.78)], ertugliflozin [HR, 0.92 (95%CI, 0.77-1.10)], and sotagliflozin [HR, 0.88 (95%CI, 0.73-1.06)] were associated with a reduction in cardiovascular mortality; Canagliflozin [HR, 0.64 (95%CI, 0.53-0.77)], dapagliflozin [HR, 0.71 (95%CI, 0.63-0.81)], empagliflozin [HR, 0.65 (95%CI, 0.50-0.85)], ertugliflozin [HR, 0.70 (95%CI, 0.54-0.90)], and sotagliflozin [HR, 0.66 (95%CI, 0.56-0.77)] were associated with a reduction in hospitalization for heart failure. Dapagliflozin [HR, 0.55 (95%CI, 0.47-0.63)], Empagliflozin [HR, 0.54 (95%CI, 0.39-0.74)], canagliflozin [HR, 0.64 (95%CI, 0.54-0.75)], sotagliflozin [HR, 0.71 (95%CI, 0.46-1.09)], and ertugliflozin [HR, 0.81 (95%CI, 0.63-1.04)] were associated with a reduction in the renal composite outcome. All SGLT2 inhibitors showed a reduction in cardiovascular mortality, hospitalization for heart failure, renal composite outcomes and all-cause mortality. Canagliflozin and empagliflozin seemed to have the same efficacy in reducing hospitalization for heart failure, but empagliflozin had advantage in reducing cardiovascular mortality, whereas dapagliflozin most likely showed the best renal composite outcomes.
