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

This retrospective case series investigates the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on whole-gut gastrointestinal motility using wireless motility capsule testing. We analyzed 10 patients on GLP-1RAs who underwent wireless motility capsule testing for constipation or gastroparesis to assess gastric, small bowel, and colonic transit times. Delayed gastric emptying time was observed in 80% of patients, whereas delayed whole-gut transit time was noted in 44% of patients. The 3 patients on semaglutide (1 mg) had the longest gastric emptying time, delayed whole-gut transit time, and were the only patients with delayed small bowel transit time. Although limited by retrospective observation, our findings are consistent with the effects of GLP-1RAs on gastric motility delay and suggest an impact on whole-gut motility. With the expanding use of GLP-1RAs, these findings underscore the need for prospective studies using emerging motility technologies to further characterize the motility effects both during treatment and after cessation, thereby guiding evidence-based clinical decision-making.
