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

Introduction: Constipation is a common, dose-dependent adverse effect of incretin-based anti-obesity therapies that affects patient adherence and may necessitate discontinuation, resulting in loss of metabolic benefits and weight regain. Elobixibat, an ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitor, may offer a targeted alternative when conventional laxatives fail. Case Presentation: A 56-year-old woman with obesity (95 kg; BMI 38.5 kg/m Conclusion: Elobixibat provided effective relief, enabling the continuation of tirzepatide therapy. Therefore, a prospective evaluation is recommended. IBAT inhibition may represent a mechanism-based strategy to overcome the specific motility deficits induced by incretin therapy.
