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

GLP-1-based drugs are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects more than 60% of patients with T2DM, and the gut microbiome plays a critical role in its pathogenesis. The gut-liver axis represents a key mechanistic link between dysbiosis and hepatic steatosis. A narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov (2015-2026). Search terms included "GLP-1 receptor agonist," "microbiome," "MASLD," "MASH," "NAFLD," "NASH," "liraglutide," "semaglutide," "tirzepatide," "dulaglutide," and "exenatide." Of 363 identified articles, 330 were excluded due to duplication or non-relevant study design; 33 studies (18 preclinical, 15 clinical) were included. In preclinical models, liraglutide demonstrated normalization of the
