aData for treatment effects were sourced from a 26-week NMA of anti-hyperglycemic agents, which included canagliflozin and dapagliflozin, in dual therapy with metformin [17]; for parameters not available in the NMA (i.e., hypoglycemia, AE rates, lipids), data were assumed based on a pooled analysis of two canagliflozin trials [51, 52]
