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

objectiveThe hormone peptide YY (PYY; cleaved into Y

methodsWeight loss and food intake were first investigated in obese male rats, followed by phase 1 and 2 clinical studies investigating efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of PYY1875 as monotherapy and in combination with semaglutide in participants with overweight or obesity.

resultsPYY1875 induced additional body weight loss in semaglutide-treated obese rats. In the phase 1 study, all doses of PYY1875 alone and coadministered with semaglutide were tolerated. In the phase 2 study, a modest but not clinically meaningful treatment effect of PYY1875 1.0 mg versus placebo as an add-on to semaglutide 2.4 mg was observed. However, gastrointestinal-related adverse events were common with the 1.0-mg PYY1875 dose, and the 2.0-mg PYY1875 dose escalation regimen was not tolerated (both as add-ons to semaglutide).

conclusionsPYY1875 showed modest efficacy as an add-on to semaglutide for weight management in people with obesity, but the treatment was not well tolerated.
