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

The incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) in liver transplanted people is reported to be 1.5-8%. On the other hand, the evidence for a causal relationship between glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) and pancreatitis in people with type 2 diabetes is still weak. In addition, there are currently no data on a possible increased risk of AP in liver-transplanted individuals with diabetes treated with GLP1RAs. In a population of liver-transplanted individuals with diabetes receiving GLP1RA-based therapy, we reported an incidence of AP of 3.0% (two subjects). No cases were reported in liver-transplanted individuals with diabetes receiving SGLT2 inhibitors, insulin or metformin, neither in kidney or lung-transplanted patients treated with GLP1RAs. In both patients with AP, the only additional risk factor for its development was a history of re-transplantation (liver or combined kidney/liver). For this reason, we suggest particular caution when considering GLP1RAs-based therapies in liver transplanted patients with multiple risk factors for AP, such as a history of repeated and complex abdominal surgery.
