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

aimTo explore the effects of sex and baseline body mass index (BMI) on the efficacy and safety of survodutide in people with a BMI ≥27 kg/m MATERIALS AND

methodsTotally 387 people (aged 18-75 years, BMI ≥27 kg/m

resultsAfter 46 weeks of survodutide treatment, females had greater reductions in bodyweight and waist circumference than males. Participants with a lower baseline BMI had greater proportional reductions in bodyweight than those with a higher baseline BMI; the trend was reversed for reductions in waist circumference. Rates of adverse events (AEs) were comparable between subgroups for sex and baseline BMI. Nausea was the most frequently reported gastrointestinal AE in all subgroups.
