Unlocking the potential of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in revolutionizing type 2 diabetes management: a comprehensive review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a long-term metabolic disorder caused by inadequate production and resistance to insulin. The prevalence of DM is rapidly increasing, with type 2 diabetes (T2D) accounting for more than 90% of cases. Despite new treatments, many patients with T2D do not meet their glycemic targets due to clinical inertia. This review provides an overview of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in the management of T2D. The review synthesizes data from clinical trials and meta-analyses on the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of GLP-1 RAs. It also discusses the mechanisms of action, classification, and barriers to adherence and persistence in therapy. GLP-1 RAs improve glycemic control by lowering A1C levels and promoting weight loss. They have cardioprotective effects and may reduce endothelial inflammation, oxidative stress, and blood pressure. Adherence to GLP-1 RAs is better with once-weekly injections, though gastrointestinal side effects and cost can affect persistence. Semaglutide and liraglutide have shown significant weight reduction, with semaglutide being particularly effective. GLP-1 RAs are cost-effective due to reduced healthcare costs associated with fewer hospitalizations and lower mortality rates. Safety concerns include gastrointestinal issues, pancreatitis, and rare cases of diabetic retinopathy and thyroid C-cell tumors. For clinical practice, GLP-1 RAs represent a valuable option not only for glycemic control but also for weight management and cardiovascular protection. Incorporating GLP-1 RAs into treatment plans can improve patient outcomes, and optimizing dosing regimens and addressing barriers such as cost and side effects are crucial to enhancing patient adherence and long-term treatment success.
