Therapeutic Potential of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Respiratory Disorders.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone secreted in response to food intake that acts biologically by binding to GLP-1 receptors. The primary function of GLP-1 is to stimulate insulin secretion and inhibit glucagon secretion, which helps limit after-meal spikes in blood glucose. GLP-1 reduces intestinal contractility, slows down gastrointestinal motility and emptying, and also acts directly on the hypothalamus, thereby regulating appetite and food intake. Due to its metabolic effects, GLP-1 forms the basis of medications currently used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obesity. However, it has also been observed that the use of GLP-1 agonists in the treatment of obesity or diabetes has a beneficial effect on comorbid respiratory conditions. This narrative review analyzes the scientific literature and describes the most recent information on the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapies on the most common respiratory disorders-both the beneficial and undesirable effects. We discuss evidence that acute lung injury, COVID-19, pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and obstructive sleep apnea can benefit from therapies with various GLP-1 RAs. They can complement existing lung-targeted treatments, but as research progresses, they are likely to play an ever more important role in the treatment of respiratory diseases.
