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

Orforglipron (Foundayo™) is an orally administered, non-peptide glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist being developed by Eli Lilly and Co. for use in long-term weight management and for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among other indications. In April 2026, orforglipron received its first approval, in the USA, for use in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for long-term weight management in adults with obesity or adults with overweight in the presence of one or more weight-related comorbid condition. Orforglipron has also been submitted for regulatory review in the EU for long-term weight management and T2D, in Japan for long-term weight management, and in Canada for T2D. In addition to long-term weight management and T2D treatment, orforglipron is currently under phase III clinical evaluation for use in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea, hypertension, stress urinary incontinence in females, osteoarthritis pain and peripheral arterial disease. This article summarises the milestones in the development of orforglipron leading to this first approval for long-term weight management in adults with obesity or overweight.
