Efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for prevention of stroke among patients with and without diabetes: A meta-analysis with the SELECT and FLOW trails.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown a reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, its efficacy on cerebrovascular events is yet to be well established among diabetic and non diabetic patients. Objective: We sought to evaluate the efficacy of GLP-1 RAs on stroke risk among its different types in patients with and without Diabetes. Methods: We performed a systematic literature search on PubMed, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inspection until 15th July 2024, without any language restrictions. Odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using a random-effect model, and a p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 11 RCTs with 85,373 patients were included (43,339 in GLP-1 RA and 42,034 in the placebo group) in the analysis. The mean age of the patients in GLP-1 RAs and the placebo groups was 63.5 and 63.1 years, respectively. Pooled analysis of primary and secondary endpoints showed that GLP-1 RAs significantly reduced the risk of incidence of stroke by 15 % (OR, 0.85(95 %CI: 0.77-0.93), Conclusion: Treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists has beneficial effects in reducing the risk of stroke, and nonfatal stroke in patients with and without diabetes. However, no such effect was observed for fatal stroke.
