Review in British journal of pharmacology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07030621 (Efficacy of Semaglutide in Improving Neurological Outcomes After Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 36 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

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.

Abstract

The medical applications of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists is evergrowing in scope, highlighting the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms through which GLP-1R activation impacts physiology and behaviour. A new area of research aims to elucidate the role GLP-1R signalling in glia, which play a role in regulating energy balance, glycemic control, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Once controversial, existing evidence now suggests that subsets of glia (e.g. microglia, tanycytes and astrocytes) and infiltrating macrophages express GLP-1Rs. In this review, we discuss the implications of these findings, with particular focus on the effectiveness of both clinically available and novel GLP-1R agonists for treating metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, enhancing cognition and combating substance abuse.
