Attitudes Toward Injectable GLP-1 Drugs for Obesity Treatment: A Qualitative Interview Study With Healthcare Professionals.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 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
Background: Injectable GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist) can help individuals living with obesity to lose weight. UK guidelines currently recommend semaglutide and other injectable GLP-1 drugs are prescribed in specialist (Tier 3) multidisciplinary weight management services, and other settings. The study aimed to explore the views of healthcare professionals, working within a specialist weight management service that was not yet prescribing injectable GLP-1 drugs, about these drugs being prescribed in their service in the future. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 11 healthcare professionals; thematic analysis was used to identify themes. Results: Thirteen main themes were identified within four theme clusters. Conclusions: The findings highlight several areas for further research and practice, including how specialist weight management service teams might integrate interpersonal behavioral support and injectable GLP-1 drug prescriptions to best help patients in the future.
