Repurposing glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
Review in Nature aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
With therapeutic progress in Alzheimer's disease (AD), more molecular and mechanistic targets are coming into focus. Beyond amyloid, emerging targets include tau, neuroinflammation and neurotransmitters. Targeting neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases has been explored using cyclooxygenase inhibitors, but it has mostly been unsuccessful. Among the drug classes under investigation for AD are the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), which are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity and cardiovascular disease. GLP-1RAs are candidate treatments for AD based on several concepts. First, epidemiological data reveal that patients with T2D and cardiovascular disease receiving GLP-1RAs have substantial reductions in the risk of developing all-cause dementia. Second, GLP-1RAs reduce neuroinflammatory changes in preclinical models. Clinical trials have not yet shown that GLP-1RAs can slow the rate of cognitive decline in mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to AD. Here, we summarize data supporting the use of GLP-1RAs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on AD.
