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

purposeSemaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP1) receptor agonist with unprecedented weight-lowering and anti-hyperglycemic properties. Recent clinical trials reported that subcutaneous semaglutide can modulate blood pressure; however, its effect on blood pressure widely varied in different studies and different subgroups of patients.

methodsPubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from the inception to July 18, 2024. Due to high heterogeneity, a random-effects model was adopted to pool data.

resultsTwenty clinical trials with 15,312 participants in the placebo group and 18,231 participants in the semaglutide group were included in this study. Subcutaneous semaglutide significantly decreased both systolic (WMD - 3.71 mmHg, 95% CI (-4.29, -3.13), I

conclusionSubcutaneous semaglutide can significantly decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure, particularly in selected groups of patients.
