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

Obesity is a complex, multifactorial disease that contributes to a broad range of cardiometabolic, reproductive, and psychological disorders. Representing a major global health challenge, obesity can be addressed by lifestyle modifications such as reduced calorie intake, physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management to help achieve sustainable weight loss and improve metabolic health in the long term. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are the two naturally produced incretin hormones in the gastrointestinal tract. Incretin analogues were initially approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus but were later found to exhibit weight-reducing properties. Liraglutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide are the three incretin analogues approved for obesity in non-diabetic patients. This narrative review presents detailed comparisons of the three approved incretin analogues for obesity, their cost-effectiveness, and trends in the clinical setting.
