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.

2 · The registry

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

Although acute pancreatitis has been reported as an adverse event in patients treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues, to date we have not identified a case describing exocrine pancreatic insufficiency related to this drug. Here we present a case of a patient with no history of acute pancreatitis, who was diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency during the third year of weekly subcutaneous semaglutide for obesity control. A 68-year-old man with previous unsuccessful therapeutic approaches for weight loss used subcutaneous semaglutide, once a week, for 181 weeks. The pharmacological treatment, combined with instructions on lifestyle changes, resulted in a weight loss of 11.6% of initial body weight, with a reduction in body mass index from 35.7 to 31.9 kg/m
