The GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Dulaglutide Attenuates Hepatic Steatosis in Obesity via a Weight-Independent Mechanism.
Article in Diabetes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
article highlightsGlucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are promising therapies in treating various obesity-associated diseases; however, the mechanisms are convoluted with the benefits of weight loss. Dulaglutide has weight-independent therapeutic effects on the liver, reducing hepatic steatosis and improving liver function. Dulaglutide reduces de novo lipogenesis, lipid droplet stability, inflammation, and oxidative stress in the liver and lipolysis in adipose tissue. Weight loss may play an important role in glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists' effect on decreasing coronary vascular disease risk.
