Novel Use of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) and Dual Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY).

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
Introduction Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), particularly due to HNF1A variants, is usually treated with sulfonylureas or insulin. In patients with excess weight or poor glycaemic control, these approaches can be challenging. Incretin-based therapies may provide a safer and more effective alternative. Methods We conducted a retrospective case series at Tawam Hospital (2019-2024), including patients with genetically confirmed MODY who received a Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist or dual GLP-1/Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist for at least three months. Clinical data, including HbA1c, body mass index (BMI), and insulin use, were extracted from medical records. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c; secondary outcomes included changes in BMI and insulin requirements. Results Six patients were included (five with HNF1A variants, one with combined PAX4/PDX1 variants). At baseline, HbA1c ranged from 7.3% to 10.6% and BMI from 25.1 to 36.7 kg/m². Following treatment, HbA1c improved in all cases (reductions of 1.0-4.1 percentage points) and weight decreased by 2.6-29 kg. Three of four insulin-treated patients discontinued insulin, while insulin-naïve patients maintained good glycaemic control without insulin initiation. Conclusion GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists improved glycaemic control, reduced body weight, and decreased insulin dependency in MODY patients. These findings suggest incretin-based therapies may be a safe and effective option in selected genotypes, meriting further evaluation in prospective studies.
