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.

2 · The registry

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 and Aims: Semaglutide, a once-weekly injectable glucagon-like peptide, showed double-digit weight reduction with an acceptable safety profile in clinical trials and real-world studies. The efficacy and safety of non-comparable biotherapeutic (NCB) semaglutide are not adequately reported. Our study aimed to assess the weight reduction and adverse effects of an NCB semaglutide in a real-world setting. Methods: This retrospective observational study conducted at three urban private practice settings collected data from an electronic record of 87 people with obesity [age (years): 32.2 ± 11.6, BMI (kg/m Results: The maximum prescribed doses of NCB semaglutide were 0.5 mg per week in 65 (74.7%) of participants, followed by 1.0 mg and 1.7 mg per week in 17 (19.5%) and 5 (5.7%) participants, respectively. Considering available participants of all visits ( Conclusion: A locally available NCB semaglutide in an uncontrolled, real-world setting showed acceptable weight loss and safety profiles among people with obesity.
