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

Background: Efpeglenatide, a novel GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown promise in improving glycemic control and inducing weight loss in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This meta-analysis assessed its therapeutic potential and safety profile. Methods: A literature search was conducted on PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane Central from inception until September 2023. We selected patients with T2DM and identified and compared those receiving efpeglenatide to placebo. Outcomes assessed included fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, body weight, BMI, and cardiometabolic parameters. Data were analyzed using a random-effects model, with results presented as mean differences (MD) for continuous outcomes and risk ratios (RR) for safety analysis, along with their respective 95% confidence intervals. Quality assessment was conducted using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results: We included 11 studies in our analysis. Efpeglenatide demonstrated significant reductions in FPG (MD = -1.53 mmol/L, 95% CI = [-2.86, -0.66], Conclusions: Efpeglenatide significantly improves glycemic outcomes and promotes weight loss in individuals with diabetes. However, it is associated with moderate adverse effects related to the gastrointestinal system. Thus, further trials are warranted to comprehensively assess its safety and efficacy to derive a robust conclusion.
