Evaluation and comparison of efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, liraglutide and SGLT2i in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a network meta-analysis.

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
objectiveThe objective is to assess the effectiveness and safety of tirzepatide, liraglutide, and SGLT2i in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
methodsAn inquiry was undertaken within the electronic database spanning from its inception to February 11th, 2024, aimed at identifying randomized controlled trials that assess the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, liraglutide, canagliflozin, ertugliflozin, empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and henagliflozin. Perform a network meta-analysis to examine the distinctions among them (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42024537006).
resultsTwenty-eight RCTs were included, involving 8499 participants. Compared with placebo, all treatments improved HbA1c levels: tirzepatide 15 mg reduced HbA1c the most (MD [95% CI], -2.24% [-2.52, -1.96]%), followed by tirzepatide 10 mg (MD [95% CI], -1.99% [-2.29, -1.69]%), tirzepatide 5 mg (MD [95% CI], -1.82% [-2.11, -1.53]%), and liraglutide 1.2 mg (MD [95% CI], -1.23% [-1.41, -1.05]%). Canagliflozin 300 mg also showed a significant reduction in HbA1c (MD [95% CI], -1.00% [-1.18, -0.82]). Tirzepatide was also the most effective in promoting weight loss, with the following results compared with placebo: tirzepatide 15 mg (MD [95% CI], -8.74 kg [-9.83, -7.66] kg), tirzepatide 10 mg (MD [95% CI], -7.13 kg [-8.40, -5.88] kg), tirzepatide 5 mg (MD [95% CI], -5.38 kg [-6.65, -4.11] kg), canagliflozin 300 mg (MD [95% CI], -2.31 kg [-2.79, -1.83] kg), and empagliflozin 10 mg (MD [95% CI], -2.00 kg [-2.44, -1.55] kg). In reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP), canagliflozin 300 mg showed the greatest effect (MD [95% CI], -5.96% [-7.96, -3.96] %). For diastolic blood pressure (DBP), henagliflozin 5 mg demonstrated the most significant reduction compared to placebo (MD [95% CI], -2.46% [-3.82, -1.10] %). Liraglutide 1.8 mg was most likely to cause adverse events (AE) (OR [95% CI], 2.57 [1.78, 3.70]), but there was no significant difference in serious adverse events (SAEs) between the interventions (including placebo).
conclusionOut of the seven medications examined in this study, tirzepatide demonstrates the most effective antidiabetic and weight-reducing effects. Furthermore, the dosage of Liraglutide at 1.2 mg and above demonstrates a more pronounced hypoglycemic effect in comparison to SGLT2 inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors exhibit a distinct hypotensive effect and are suitable for diabetic individuals experiencing hypertension.
