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

introductionGlucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) have changed the landscape of type 2 diabetes (T2D) management due to their cardio-renal benefits, their glucose-lowering efficacy and weight loss (WL) maintenance. However, the response to GLP-1 RA monotherapy is heterogeneous. Additionally, the majority of GLP-1 RAs are injectable treatments. Oral GLP-1 RAs and injectable combinations of GLP-1 with other entero-pancreatic hormones (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon and amylin) are under development for T2D and obesity management. AREAS COVERED: Herein, we review the data on (i) oral GLP-1 RAs (oral semaglutide 25/50 mg and orforglipron) and (ii) dual/triple agonists (tirzepatide, cagrilintide 2.4 mg/semaglutide 2.4 mg, survodutide, mazdutide, retatrutide) that have recently completed phase 3 trials for T2D or are currently in phase 3 clinical trials. Tirzepatide is the first approved dual agonist (GLP-1/GIP) for T2D and obesity management. EXPERT OPINION: We are in a new era in T2D management where entero-pancreatic hormone-based treatments can result in ≥15% WL and euglycemia for many people with T2D. Multiple molecules with different mechanisms of action are under development for T2D, obesity and other metabolic complications. Data on their cardio-renal benefits, long-term efficacy and safety as well as their cost-effectiveness will better inform their position in treatment algorithms.
