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

Cardiovascular outcome trials revealed cardiovascular benefits for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients when treated with long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. In the last decade, major advances were made characterising the physiological effects of GLP-1 and its action on numerous targets including brain, liver, kidney, heart and blood vessels. However, the effects of GLP-1 and receptor agonists, and the GLP-1 receptor on the cardiovascular system have not been fully elucidated. We compare results from cardiovascular outcome trials of GLP-1 receptor agonists and review pleiotropic clinical and preclinical data concerning cardiovascular protection beyond glycaemic control. We address current knowledge on GLP-1 and receptor agonist actions on the heart, vasculature, inflammatory cells and platelets, and discuss evidence for GLP-1 receptor-dependent versus independent effects secondary of GLP-1 metabolites. We conclude that the favourable cardiovascular profile of GLP-1 receptor agonists might expand their therapeutic use for treating cardiovascular disease even in non-diabetic populations.
