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

backgroundEmerging data on cardiovascular outcomes, specifically major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), are being reported from various trials involving incretin mimetics, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), especially among patients with obesity and diabetes. Our aim was to evaluate this matter, while also involving various traditional cardiovascular risk factors [e.g., several body weight (BW) parameters, blood pressure (BP), lipid profile].

methodsA search of PubMed, Europe PMC, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to September 2024 was performed to identify GLP-1 RA and GIP trials in MACE risk reduction as a primary endpoint. Our secondary endpoints included a reduction in BW, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), BP changes, and lipid modifying effects, while also yielding safety concerns surrounding the use of these pharmaceutical agents. Mean differences (MD) and risk ratios (RR) were summarized using random-effects model.

resultsA total of 11 eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comprising 8 GLP-1 RA trials and 3 dual GLP-1 RA/GIP (tirzepatide) trials were included. Compared with control groups, GLP-1 RA significantly reduced the MACE risk by 32% [RR 0.68 (95% CI 0.53-0.87); P = 0.002; I

conclusionsIncretin mimetics have shown promise in reducing MACE risk while also enhancing cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure and lipid profile, in adults with obesity without diabetes.
