Association of semaglutide with retained gastric contents on endoscopy: Retrospective analysis.
Article in Endoscopy international open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 and study aims: We investigated the effect of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist therapy, on retained gastric contents during endoscopy through a retrospective case-control study. Patients and methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study to evaluate the effect of semaglutide on rates of retained gastric contents (RGC) visualized during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Cases and controls were matched using multidimensional propensity score matching: age, gender, body mass index, and EGD indication. Pairs were analyzed using McNemar testing and Mann-Whitney non-parametric tests. Results: Of the patients on GLP-1 therapy at time of EGD, 12.5% had RGC, compared with 1.3% in the control group (confidence interval [CI] 7.2% to 17.7%, Conclusions: Semaglutide use appears to increase risk of having retained gastric contents visualized during endoscopy. Patients on semaglutide for weight loss appear to have a greater risk of RGC compared with patients on semaglutide for glycemic control. This observation may have clinical implications for management of GLP-1 agonist use prior to endoscopy.
