Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
There is a steadily increasing global burden of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), and movement disorders like Parkinson's disease (PD), which emphasizes the importance of disease-modifying therapy (as opposed to symptomatic therapy). This review considers a new disease-modifying strategy through the so-called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in these NDs, and the mechanistic rationale and evidence base. The review considers a multi-targeting strategy, translational issues, and a future research agenda. Translational challenges for these agents are also discussed, particularly the need to understand how the timing of treatment may influence outcomes. The review also considers unwanted side effects like unintended weight loss, which may compromise "at-risk" patient groups. In conclusion, GLP-1 RAs are an intriguing multitarget treatment option for people with NDs, and future research should focus on optimizing treatment for clinical trials, evolved agonists that can penetrate the central nervous system (CNS), and combination therapies.
