Glucagon-like peptide-1 analog therapy in rare genetic diseases: monogenic obesity, monogenic diabetes, and spinal muscular atrophy.
Review in Acta diabetologica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
aimImplementing genetic analyses have unraveled rare alterations causing early-onset obesity and complications, in whom treatment is challenging. We aimed to report on the effects of adjuvant off-label therapy with liraglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue (GLP-1a), in rare genetic diagnoses.
methodsCase scenarios and review of the literature.
resultsCase 1: Nine-year-old boy with early-onset severe obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) due to a homozygous mutation in the MC4R gene deteriorated under lifestyle change and metformin therapy [at 10.5 years: body mass index (BMI) 51.2kg/m
conclusionsConsidering the pleiotropic effects of GLP1-a beyond BMI reduction, this treatment modality may serve as a game changer in challenging cases.
