GLP-1 AND CIRRHOSIS: EFFECTS ON MORTALITY AND LIVER-RELATED COMPLICATIONS.
Article in Arquivos de gastroenterologia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCirrhosis is characterized by complications, including hepatic encephalopathy (HE), hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), and acute variceal bleeding, Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, have shown potential benefits in reducing liver inflammation and lowering cirrhosis-related complications. This study aims to provide insights into the effect of GLP-1 therapy on mortality and clinical outcomes in patients with cirrhosis.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis using TriNetX research network. The cohort comprised patients ≥18 years old with a diagnosis of cirrhosis. Patients who were started on GLP-1 analogs after the diagnosis of cirrhosis were identified. Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality, HE, HRS, and portal hypertensive bleeding. Variables such as age, sex, race, comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease, hypertension), and lifestyle factors underwent 1:1 propensity matching to reduce confounding. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was utilized to analyze the matched cohorts, and hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals.
resultsGLP-1 analog use was significantly associated with a reduced risk of several cirrhosis-related complications. Patients treated with GLP-1 analogs exhibited a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.374, 95%CI 0.359-0.392), HE (HR 0.900, 95%CI 0.843-0.959), and HRS (HR 0.554, 95%CI 0.496-0.619). Additionally, there was reduced rates of portal hypertensive bleeding among GLP-1 users (HR 0.487, 95%CI 0.444-0.533).
conclusionThis study demonstrates that GLP-1 analog use is associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality and cirrhosis-related complications. Furthermore, the reduced rate of portal hypertensive bleeding might correlate with subsequent decrease in hospitalizations.
