  "summary": "Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) provide important cardiorenal benefits in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but their effects on vascular calcification remain conflicting. Whether potential anti-calcifying effects are shared across gliflozins or involve mechanisms beyond canonical SGLT2 inhibition is unknown. Methods: We systematically compared canagliflozin,…",
