Role of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in the Management of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis: A Clinical Review Article.
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as one of the lethal causes of chronic liver disease globally. NAFLD can ultimately progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) given persistent cellular insult. The crux of the problem lies in fat accumulation in the liver, such as increased fatty acid substrates owing to consumption of a high-fat diet, altered gut physiology, and excess adipose tissue. Being the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance is also among one of the many stimuli. Therefore, drugs, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) can play a significant role in reducing inflammation, in addition to weight loss and dietary habits. In this review article, we have reviewed the role of exenatide, liraglutide, and semaglutide in the management of NASH. Two of the agents, exenatide and semaglutide, have a predominant role in reducing alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, therefore reducing inflammation and promoting weight loss. However, these agents have a lesser impact on the degree of fibrosis. Liraglutide, on the other hand, has been shown to significantly decrease the degree of fibrosis and has been found helpful in reversing mild degrees of steatosis. Therefore, these agents warrant attention to the new perspective that has been presented so that future guidelines may incorporate and streamline individualized therapy.
