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

Obesity is currently considered a global epidemic, with rising prevalence worldwide and rather pessimistic projections. Based on its close interconnection with various co-morbidities, such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, obesity is associated with significant increases in morbidity and mortality, while it also poses a substantial economic burden for national healthcare systems. Apparently, the majority of individuals classified as obese do not achieve adequate weight loss with the adoption of a healthy lifestyle intervention, including dietary modification and physical activity. Fortunately, during the last decade, a significant progress in pharmacotherapy of obesity has been observed, with the introduction of agents that have gained approval from regulatory authorities, namely semaglutide, liraglutide and tirzepatide, due to their impressive results in body weight reduction, alongside their beneficial, pleiotropic effects. The aim of the present review article is to discuss on evidence retrieved from real-world studies regarding the efficacy of those agents in obesity treatment, with emphasis on cost-effectiveness data, towards an effort to tackle efficiently the progression of obesity epidemic.
