Effects of liraglutide on metabolic syndrome in WBN/Kob diabetic fatty rats supplemented with a high-fat diet.
Article in Animal models and experimental medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLiraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, has recently been used to treat metabolic syndrome (MS) because of its anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects. We have previously shown that Wistar Bonn Kobori diabetic and fatty (WBN/Kob-Lepr
methodsSeven-week-old male WBKDF-HFD rats were allocated to three groups (N = 8 in each group): a vehicle group, a low-dose liraglutide group, and a high-dose liraglutide group. They received subcutaneous injections of either saline or liraglutide at doses of 75 or 300 μg/kg body weight once daily for 4 weeks.
resultsResults showed that liraglutide treatment reduced body weight gain and food intake in a dose-dependent manner. The marked hyperglycemia and the glucose tolerance were also significantly ameliorated in the liraglutide-treated groups. Moreover, liraglutide also reduced the plasma triglyceride concentration and liver fat accumulation.
conclusionsThe present study demonstrated that liraglutide could significantly alleviate MS in WBKDF-HFD rats, and the reaction to liraglutide is similar to human patients with MS. WBKDF-HFD rats are therefore considered to be a useful model for research on severe human MS.
