The differences observed can be attributed to several factors inherent to real-world studies as compared to RCTs, and future work is needed to further characterize patient profiles most likely to benefit from GLP-1s with findings from both structured and unstructured clinical data modalities

It has been established through clinical trials that GLP-1 receptor agonists (liraglutide and semaglutide) have proven to be consistently useful in lowering body weight, enhancing glycaemic control, and reducing cardiovascular risk [7,8,9].Nevertheless, since GLP-1 receptor agonists have the capability to work on several central nervous pathways, including the one controlling appetite, reward circuits, and the pancreatic-enteric-brain axis, the potential psychological impact of such agonists has increased with time [10,11,12]
Here, Norris, a physician assistant, explains what you need to know about GLP-1s and how they complement weight loss surgery
The trials showed meaningful weight loss at every dose level
