Reviewer 2 Report

In the current paper, Lăcătușu and her collaborators reviewed the literature in search of any association between the anti-diabetic treatments/drugs and the risk of Atrial Fibrillation and stroke. The authors discussed the available data on the effect of seven large-scale recommended anti-diabetic drugs on the risk of developing Atrial fibrillation and stroke on the patients under treatment. Although the review brings together the up to date findings on this topic in one document, few major comments should be taken into consideration to make it scientifically sounds:

1- Most of the review is based on run-on sentences including many ideas which make the main sense lost in between. Please reformulate your manuscript using more simple sentences. I would recommend a thorough language revision by a native English speaker.

2- Adding figures or summarizing tables would make it easier to the readers to take the essential of the review.

3- It would be good if the authors add a sentence in the introduction explaining the choice of the discussed drugs.

Thank you.
