Impact of Treatment with GLP1 Receptor Agonists, Liraglutide 3.0 mg and Semaglutide 1.0 mg, While on a Waiting List for Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundWeight loss before undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been suggested to reduce perioperative complications, although with controversial results. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of treatment with GLP1-R agonists (liraglutide 3.0 mg and semaglutide 1.0 mg) on preoperative weight loss and patients' decisions regarding MBS while on a surgical waiting list. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred and two patients on a waiting list for MBS started treatment with GLP1-RA for at least 6 months. Changes in weight at 26 and 52 weeks, the number of patients achieving >5% weight loss, and patients' decisions regarding MBS were evaluated.
resultsAfter 52 weeks, patients lost 16.9 ± 7.2% of weight with semaglutide 1.0 mg and 16.1 ± 5.8% of weight with liraglutide 3.0 mg. All patients lost ≥5% of initial weight, 84.7% lost ≥10%, 54.6% lost ≥15%, and 27.5% reached ≥20%. A total of 68.6% of participants were satisfied with the achieved weight loss and withdrew from the waiting list for MBS. A threshold of >15.1% weight loss had the greatest sensitivity and specificity for the final decision regarding undergoing MBS.
conclusionsLosing >15% of initial weight after 52 weeks of treatment with liraglutide 3.0 mg or semaglutide 1.0 mg during the waiting list for MBS impacts patients' decisions regarding the final acceptance or rejection of the procedure.
