Hair Loss Associated With Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonist Use: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have recently gained widespread use among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus or obesity, owing to their substantial impact in lowering blood glucose levels and reducing body weight. Apart from this, the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) identified several dermatological side effects, including hair loss, associated with the administration of GLP-1 RAs, prompting further research. This systematic review aimed to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of hair loss related to the use of GLP-1 RAs. The search strategy utilized PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases using key terms: (("GLP-1 receptor agonist"[Mesh] OR "GLP1- receptor agonist"[tiab] OR "Glucagon-Like Peptide 1"[tiab] OR "GLP-1 agonist"[tiab] OR semaglutide[tiab] OR liraglutide[tiab] OR tirzepatide[tiab] OR exenatide[tiab] OR dulaglutide[tiab]) AND (hair loss[Mesh] OR alopecia[tiab] OR "telogen effluvium"[tiab] OR "alopecia areata"[tiab] OR hair[tiab]) ). Including all primary English studies, the hair loss outcomes associated with the use of GLP-1 RA in adults were reported without time restriction. A total of five relevant studies were included in this review, encompassing 2,905 adult patients who received subcutaneous trizepatide mainly on a weekly basis. The study yielded conflicting findings, with some indicating significant improvement and hair regrowth, while others reported hair loss as an adverse dermatological event. Further research is recommended to clarify the relationship between GLP-1 RAs and alopecia.
