Psychiatric adverse events linked to glucagon-like peptide 1 analogues: a disproportionality analysis in American, Canadian and Australian adverse event databases.

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
backgroundGlucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogues are a class of medications that stimulate glucose-dependent insulin release and slow gastric emptying. With the increasing use of GLP-1 analogues, concerns about potential psychiatric adverse events (AEs) remain under-explored.
aimThis pharmacovigilance study aimed to investigate the prevalence of psychiatric AEs associated with currently available GLP-1 analogues by analysing publicly available national datasets from the US (FAERS), Canada (CVAROD) and Australia (DAEN).
methodPsychiatric AE reports were extracted from all three databases for all approved GLP-1 analogues. A disproportionality analysis was conducted to calculate reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for psychiatric AEs of interest.
resultsSignificant associations were identified when multiple databases reported elevated RORs. Semaglutide was associated with depressive symptoms (FAERS, ROR = 6.24 CI 4.49-8.69), panic attacks (FAERS, ROR = 1.46 CI 1.16-1.82) and suicidal ideation (FAERS, ROR = 2.58 CI 2.31-2.88). Liraglutide was linked to depression (CVAROD, ROR = 1.68 CI 1.12-2.51), while dulaglutide showed positive associations with eating disorders (FAERS, ROR = 1.47 CI 1.26-1.71) and insomnia (FAERS, ROR = 2.93 CI 2.35-3.66).
conclusionGLP-1 analogues, particularly semaglutide and liraglutide, are associated with significant psychiatric AEs, especially depression and suicidal ideation. Further studies are required to understand the mechanisms underlying these associations, particularly in patients with pre-existing psychiatric conditions.
