RISING STARS: Effects of a GLP-1 receptor polymorphism on responses to liraglutide.
Trial report in The Journal of endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Abstract: The rs6923761 (Gly168Ser) missense variant in the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) has been associated with favorable anthropometric and metabolic parameters in individuals with obesity but decreased responsiveness to incretin-based therapies. Here, we performed a pre-specified analysis of a randomized-controlled trial in individuals with obesity and pre-diabetes comparing treatment with the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide, the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor sitagliptin or hypocaloric diet, and evaluated the effects of the rs6923761 variant on outcomes. We found significantly greater weight loss to liraglutide with each copy of the variant allele present, indicating a gene dose effect. In addition, individuals with the variant allele exhibited a significant reduction in the pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory factor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 after liraglutide treatment. There was no effect of genotype on fasting glucose after liraglutide treatment, yet individuals with the variant allele exhibited decreased responsiveness to liraglutide and hypocaloric diet in measurements of fasting insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, and HOMA-IR. In conclusion, we found that the GLP-1R rs6923761 variant exerts a dual impact on liraglutide efficacy-enhancing weight loss while diminishing metabolic benefits. The observed associations could be consistent with the constitutive activation of the GLP-1R in the presence of this variant with reduced activation/signaling in response to pharmacologic agents, a pattern that has been observed with the rs10305492 variant in animal models. Future studies are needed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of associations with the rs6923761 variant.
