Injectable drugs for weight management.
Review in Australian prescriber, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Obesity management is complex; medications must be used in conjunction with behavioural changes and monitoring by health professionals. Injectable drugs for weight management include glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (e.g. liraglutide, semaglutide) and dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g. tirzepatide). These drugs contribute to weight loss by mimicking the incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP to reduce appetite, change food enjoyment, slow stomach emptying and stimulate insulin release. Regaining weight is common when these drugs are stopped, so they usually need to be continued long term. Relatively minor gastrointestinal issues are common. There is also a small but real risk of more serious adverse effects, including gallstones and pancreatitis. It is important to monitor mental health, as these drugs can change a patient's relationship with food, and they may be misused by those without obesity.
