Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Outcomes Associated With the Use of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists After Heart Transplantation.
Article in Clinical transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe use of glucagon-like-peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) has dramatically increased over the past 5 years for diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and obesity. These comorbidities are prevalent in adult heart transplant (HT) recipients. However, there are limited data evaluating the efficacy of this drug class in this population. The aim of the current study was to describe cardiometabolic changes in HT recipients prescribed GLP1-RA at a large-volume transplant center.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed all adult HT recipients who received GLP1-RA after HT for a minimum of 1-month. Cardiometabolic parameters including body mass index (BMI), lipid panel, hemoglobin A1C, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and NT-proBNP were compared prior to initiation of the drug and at most recent follow-up. We also evaluated for significant dose adjustments to immunosuppression after drug initiation and adverse effects leading to drug discontinuation.
resultsSeventy-four patients were included (28% female, 53% White, 20% Hispanic) and followed for a median of 383 days [IQR 209, 613] on a GLP1-RA. The majority of patients (n = 56, 76%) were prescribed semaglutide. The most common indication for prescription was T2DM alone (n = 33, 45%), followed by combined T2DM and obesity (n = 26, 35%). At most recent follow-up, mean BMI decreased from 33.3 to 31.5 kg/m
conclusionHT recipients prescribed GLP1-RA therapy showed improved glycemic control, weight loss, and cholesterol levels during the study follow-up period. GLP1-RA were well tolerated and were rarely associated with changes in immunosuppression dosing.
