Dietary supplement considerations during glucagon-like Peptide-1 receptor agonist treatment: A narrative review.
Review in Obesity pillars, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Recent advancements with Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1RA) result in approximately 15 % or more weight reduction. Scientific research addressing specific nutritional concerns with GLP-1RA are still emerging. While some guidelines currently exist for nutritional considerations, they are largely focused on side effect management and providing basic dietary guidance during GLP-1RA. Methods: This narrative review aims to provide practical evidence-based considerations for dietary supplementation to help optimize health outcomes while using GLP-1RA. We reviewed available literature of dietary supplementation interventions among individuals with obesity, weight loss clinical trials, and adiposity-related complications to help guide clinicians on potentially advantageous supplementation. Results: Robust data from meta-analyses provides justification for a variety of dietary supplements that can support the unintended consequences of GLP-1RA treatments. Multivitamins are recommended to address micronutrient insufficiencies as determined by individual deficiencies and suboptimal intake. Protein supplements can help individuals meet daily protein intake recommendations of 1.2-2.0 g/kg/d. When combined with resistance training, whey protein can help preserve lean body mass during weight loss, with additional strength benefits from creatine monohydrate and β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate supplementation. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients can mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation. Fiber and probiotics can improve bowel regularity and mitigate side effects. Conclusion: Healthcare providers play an active role in supporting their patients with comprehensive obesity treatment. Guidance should focus on improving their long-term health and potentially mitigating unintended consequences. Optimizing nutrient intakes with therapeutic doses of dietary supplements may enhance outcomes when used alongside GLP-1RA, such as increasing nutrient status, retaining lean mass, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, and improving gastrointestinal health.
