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-1RAs) are increasingly used for managing type 2 diabetes and obesity. As their clinical applications expand, interest in their safety and adverse effects has grown. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research trends, collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution on GLP-1RA-related adverse effects from 2006 to 2025. This study is a bibliometric analysis. Data were extracted from the Scopus database and analyzed using Bibliometrix (R package) and VOS viewer. Indicators assessed included publication and citation metrics, institutional productivity, and keyword co-occurrence and mapping. Correlations were evaluated using Pearson and Spearman tests, and the Durbin-Watson statistic was applied to assess the independence of residuals. A total of 1075 articles published in 389 journals were identified, authored by 6068 researchers across 85 countries. The annual growth rate was 32.06%, with no single-author papers and 34.23% international co-authorship, indicating strong global collaboration. The United States (30.5%), the United Kingdom (10.6%), and Denmark (7.8%) led in publication output and total citations. Institutional analysis identified Novo Nordisk A/S (60 papers, 11 207 citations) and Eli Lilly & Co. (45 papers, 9948 citations) as the most influential contributors. Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism published the most articles (n = 106), followed by Diabetes Care and The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Significant correlations were found between article count and h-index (
