Trials differed in their design and population (included), therefore direct comparison should not be made. CV = cardiovascular; CVD = cardiovascular disease; HFrEF = heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; n/a = not applicable; T2D = type 2 diabetes. Box colours: blue = confirmed significant risk reduction in primary outcome; green = significant risk reduction as exploratory outcome; yellow = no significant/neutral effect; grey = outcome not reported.
