Introduction: The impact of reduction of systolic blood pressure or body weight on reduction of cardiovascular events during the treatment with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) for type 2 diabetes is unclear. Methods: We searched Embase and PubMed. We performed meta-analysis using hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) as effect size stratified by drug class on six endpoints of interest, which were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), cardiovascular death (CVD), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and all-cause death (ACD). We performed meta-regression to assess the difference between GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is, and the impact of reduction of systolic blood pressure or body weight on reduction of cardiovascular events. Results: We included 11 randomized trials. Compared with placebo, SGLT2is reduced HHF by 32% (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.60-0.76) whereas GLP-1RAs reduced HHF by only 9% (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83-0.99). The benefit from SGLT2is on HHF was significantly greater than that from GLP-1RAs (P subgroup = 0.004). GLP-1RAs reduced stroke by 16% (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.76-0.93) whereas SGLT2is did not reduce stroke (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.82-1.12).
