Cardiovascular Benefits of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonists in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Who cites it

Abstract
This systematic review evaluates the cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, or heart failure (HF). A comprehensive literature search across four major databases identified eight eligible studies, including randomized controlled trials and prespecified or pooled post-hoc analyses. The findings demonstrate consistent cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 RAs, particularly semaglutide and exenatide, with notable reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and HF-related outcomes. Mechanistically, these benefits may be attributed to anti-inflammatory effects, improved endothelial function, and metabolic improvements such as weight loss and blood pressure reduction. Despite some heterogeneity across subgroups and study designs, the overall evidence supports the integration of GLP-1 RAs into cardiovascular risk management for patients with T2DM.
