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

Sepsis‑induced myopathy (SIM) is a common complication in intensive care units, which is often associated with adverse outcomes, primarily manifested as skeletal muscle weakness and atrophy. Currently, the management of SIM focuses on prevention strategies, as effective therapeutic options remain elusive. Glucagon‑like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1) receptor agonists (GLP‑1RAs) have garnered attention as hypoglycemic and weight‑loss agents, with an increasing body of research focusing on the extrapancreatic effects of GLP‑1. In preclinical settings, GLP‑1RAs exert protective effects against sepsis‑related multiple organ dysfunction through anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms. Based on the existing research, we hypothesized that GLP‑1RAs may serve potential protective roles in the repair and regeneration of skeletal muscle affected by sepsis. The present review aimed to explore the relationship between GLP‑1RAs and sepsis, as well as their impact on muscle atrophy‑related myopathy. Furthermore, the potential mechanisms and therapeutic benefits of GLP‑1RAs are discussed in the context of muscle atrophy induced by sepsis.
