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.

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.

Abstract

aimsSurvodutide is an investigational glucagon receptor/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor dual agonist that has shown promise for treating obesity and its complications in Phase 2 trials. Two double-blind, randomized, global Phase 3 trials are designed to assess the efficacy and safety of survodutide for treatment of obesity-SYNCHRONIZE™-1 in people with obesity without type 2 diabetes (T2D) and SYNCHRONIZE™-2 in people with obesity and T2D. This paper describes the baseline characteristics of participants in SYNCHRONIZE-2 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT06066528). MATERIALS AND

methodsParticipants aged ≥18 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥27 kg/m

resultsSYNCHRONIZE-2 includes 752 treated participants from 133 sites across 19 countries. At baseline, participants had a mean age of 55.7 years, BMI 36.5 kg/m

conclusionsSYNCHRONIZE-2 will determine the efficacy, safety and tolerability of survodutide for BW reduction in people with obesity and T2D, whose baseline characteristics suggest a representative, diverse cohort.
