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
aimsTo characterize the cardiometabolic profiles of oral and subcutaneous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor mono-agonists in adults with overweight or obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D), using network meta-analysis (NMA). MATERIALS AND
methodsPubMed, Embase and CENTRAL were searched (January 2014-November 2025) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating GLP-1 receptor mono-agonists (semaglutide, liraglutide and orforglipron) in adults with overweight or obesity. The primary outcome was the cardiometabolic efficacy index (CEI), a ranking-based composite (0 to 1) summarizing performance across seven cardiometabolic endpoints: total body weight loss percentage, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol-C, LDL-C, waist circumference, HbA1c and systolic blood pressure. Secondary outcomes included treatment effects for each individual CEI component.
resultsNineteen RCTs (N = 13 117) were analysed. Semaglutide 7.2 mg achieved the highest CEI (0.86), followed by orforglipron 36 mg (bioequivalent to Foundayo 17.2 mg tablet) (0.68) and semaglutide 2.4 mg (0.66), all exhibiting placebo-adjusted weight reductions ≥ 10%. CEI rankings were generally consistent across T2D and non-T2D subgroups. Among oral formulations in non-T2D adults, OFG 36 mg showed a CEI comparable to oral semaglutide 25 mg (0.67 vs 0.63).
conclusionsHigher-dose GLP-1 receptor mono-agonists, particularly semaglutide 7.2 mg and orforglipron 36 mg (Foundayo 17.2 mg tablet), demonstrated the most consistent multidimensional cardiometabolic improvements, although domain-specific differences were observed across agents.
