GLP-1 receptor agonists and gallbladder disease risk: insights into molecular mechanisms and clinical implications.
Review in Therapeutic advances in endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have become essential medications in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity due to their ability to improve glucose control and facilitate weight loss by enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying. These mechanisms make GLP-1RAs highly effective for metabolic disorders, benefiting patients who require both glycemic control and weight reduction. However, despite their clinical efficacy, GLP-1RAs have been associated with an increased risk of gallbladder disease, including gallstone formation known as cholelithiasis and inflammation of the gallbladder called cholecystitis, especially with prolonged use and higher doses. This review explores the potential mechanisms by which GLP-1RAs may contribute to biliary disease, focusing on the roles of cholecystokinin suppression, bile acid receptor signaling, and alterations in gut-brain pathways. In addition, we present a novel algorithm designed to outline strategies to address the risks of biliary disease in patients treated with GLP-1RAs.
