Trial report in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07734792 (Effect of Tirzepatide on Functional Outcomes in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Endovascular Thrombectomy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

We aimed to determine the effect of semaglutide on patients with acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) receiving endovascular therapy (EVT). In this phase 2, investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint trial conducted in China, we recruited patients with disabling LVO undergoing EVT. Patients were randomized to semaglutide therapy (0.5 mg subcutaneous semaglutide before and 1 week after EVT) or standard therapy. The primary outcome was defined as favorable neurological recovery (modified Rankin Scale 0-2 at 90 days). Between August 2023 and July 2024, 140 patients were randomized to semaglutide (n = 69) or standard therapy (n = 71). The primary outcome occurred in 39 (56.5%) in the semaglutide group and 39 (54.9%) in the standard therapy group (adjusted RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.95-1.15, p = 0.37). We observed treatment effect modification by intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on semaglutide therapy (p
