Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists' effects on glycemic control, weight loss, and beta cells function in type 1 diabetes.

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
Background: Insulin is an effective treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and a significant proportion of patients are not controlled, develop hypoglycemia, and gain weight. Therefore, adjuvant therapies to mitigate the above are highly needed. Meta-analyses on the effect of glucagon peptide agonists (GLP-1 agonists) on weight loss and HbA1c are scarce. We aimed to assess the effects of GLP-1 agonists on HbA1c, weight, and C-peptide in patients with T1DM with obesity/overweight and normal weight. Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar from inception up to October 30, 2025. The keywords T1DM, GLP-1 agonists, weight, HbA1c, hyperglycemia, adverse effects, hypoglycemia, time in the range, continuous monitoring, blood glucose, C-peptide, and complications were used. We identified 904 studies; from them, 33 full texts were eligible, and 18 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Results: GLP-1 agonists achieved a higher reduction in weight, HbA1c, and time spent in hyperglycemia compared to controls, MD=-4.28, 95% Conclusion: GLP-1 agonists reduced weight, HbA1c, and time in hyperglycemia significantly compared to controls at the cost of total side effects. The stimulated C-peptide and hypoglycemia were not different between the two groups; further well-controlled trials investigating the role of GLP-1 agonists in newly diagnosed, and normal body weight T1DM are recommended.
