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

Background: In ATTAIN, phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials, orforglipron treatment resulted in substantial weight reduction among people with obesity with or without type 2 diabetes. Methods: This was a prespecified secondary and post-hoc analyses of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) (ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2). Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) was assessed from baseline to week 72 (efficacy estimand) using Short Form-36 Version 2 Health Survey acute form (SF-36v2), Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite-Clinical Trials Version (IWQOL-Lite-CT), EQ-5D-5L and associated EQ visual analog scale (EQ VAS), and Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) for Physical Activity. Post-hoc analysis assessed changes in outcomes among orforglipron-treated participants by body mass index (BMI) subgroups (<35 kg/m Results: Across both ATTAIN trials, participants receiving orforglipron demonstrated greater improvements than those on placebo in PROs across most SF-36v2, IWQOL-Lite-CT and EQ-5D-5L domain scores from baseline through week 72. Significant improvements were observed across PROs related to physical function. In the exploratory subgroup analyses, participants in ATTAIN-1 with higher baseline BMI and those with baseline physical function limitations were more likely to have greater improvements. Conclusion: Across the ATTAIN-1 and ATTAIN-2 trials, orforglipron treatment was associated with substantial body weight reduction and improvements in patient-reported HRQoL, with consistent enhancements in physical functioning and heterogeneous effects on psychosocial functioning.
