Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06180616 (Tirzepatide for the Treatment of Concurrent Type 1 Diabetes and Overweight or Obesity), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

introductionThe increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) complicates glycaemic management and escalates insulin resistance, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. Tirzepatide, a dual agonist for glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptors, shows promise in managing weight and glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes but is unexplored in the context of T1D. This double-blind, placebo-controlled randomised trial will evaluate the efficacy of tirzepatide in adults with T1D and overweight/obesity over 32 weeks. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: 60 participants (aged 18-70 years) with a body mass index ≥27 kg/m ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been obtained from the Northern Sydney Local Health District's Human Research Ethics Committee (approval ID #2024/ETH00180). TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06180616.
