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

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but existing evidence regarding their efficacy and safety remains inconsistent. To evaluate the cardiorenal outcomes and adverse effects of GLP-1 RAs in this population, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science up to December 2024. Nine trials involving 21,717 patients, the vast majority of whom had T2DM, were included. GLP-1RAs treatment for CKD was associated with decreasing the incidence of major adverse kidney events (MAKE; RR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.76-0.94) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACE; RR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.72-0.97), reducing all-cause mortality (RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.76-0.90) and albuminuria level (SMD, -1.22; 95% CI, -1.53 - 0.90). Gastrointestinal events associated with GLP-1 RA treatments including nausea (RR, 4.14; 95% CI, 2.70-6.33), vomiting (RR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.88-4.97), diarrhea (RR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.76-3.98), and dyspepsia (RR, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.02-14.12) have garnered significant attention. In conclusion, administration of GLP-1RAs treatment demonstrates excellent cardiorenal protective effects in CKD, primarily in patients with co-existing T2DM, though with notable gastrointestinal concerns.
