Liraglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The cardiovascular effect of liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, when added to standard care in patients with type 2 diabetes, remains unknown. METHODS: In this double-blind trial, we randomly assigned patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk to receive liraglutide or placebo. The primary composite outcome in the time-to-event analysis was the first occurrence of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. The primary hypothesis was that liraglutide would be noninferior to placebo with regard to the primary outcome, with a margin of 1.30 for the upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval of the hazard ratio. No adjustments for multiplicity were performed for the prespecified exploratory outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 9340 patients underwent randomization. The median follow-up was 3.8 years. The primary outcome occurred in significantly fewer patients in the liraglutide group (608 of 4668 patients [13.0%]) than in the placebo group (694 of 4672 [14.9%]) (hazard ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.78 to 0.97; P<0.001 for noninferiority; P=0.01 for superiority). Fewer patients died from cardiovascular causes in the liraglutide group (219 patients [4.7%]) than in the placebo group (278 [6.0%]) (hazard ratio, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.66 to 0.93; P=0.007). The rate of death from any cause was lower in the liraglutide group (381 patients [8.2%]) than in the placebo group (447 [9.6%]) (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74 to 0.97; P=0.02). The rates of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and hospitalization for heart failure were nonsignificantly lower in the liraglutide group than in the placebo group. The most common adverse events leading to the discontinuation of liraglutide were gastrointestinal events. The incidence of pancreatitis was nonsignificantly lower in the liraglutide group than in the placebo group. CONCLUSIONS: In the time-to-event analysis, the rate of the first occurrence of death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was lower with liraglutide than with placebo.

In the paper
“in the Evaluation of Lixisenatide in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ELIXA) trial,14 the GLP-1–receptor agonist lixisenatide, which is shorter-acting than and structurally dissimilar to liraglutide, did not show any cardiovascular benefit in patients with diabetes and a recent acute coronary syndrome.”
§ Liraglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes > DISCUSSION
What the sources say
- Supportedcites [14] source
The Study Design section identifies ELIXA as a trial in patients with type 2 diabetes and a recent acute coronary syndrome. The Results report no superiority of lixisenatide over placebo for the primary cardiovascular end point, and the Discussion describes its cardiovascular effect as neutral. (LLM, conf=0.94)

“The pattern of cardiovascular benefits that were associated with liraglutide in our trial appears to differ from that with the sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor empagliflozin in the previously reported EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial.”
§ Liraglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes > DISCUSSION
What the sources say
- Supportedcites [12] source
The source is the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial and establishes the empagliflozin side of the comparison. Its Cardiovascular Outcomes section (p. 4) reports lower cardiovascular death and heart-failure hospitalization, but no significant difference in myocardial infarction or stroke. The comparison with liraglutide is the citing authors’ interpretation, not a finding attributed to this trial. (LLM, conf=0.92)

The discussion on p. 9 says that reductions in cardiovascular and all-cause death occurred early in EMPA-REG OUTCOME and continued throughout the study. It does not compare the time to benefit with that of the citing authors’ present trial, so the ‘earlier than’ comparison is not supported by this source alone. (LLM, conf=0.84)

The insulin-use and achieved fasting-glucose section reports a modest between-group glycemic difference, and the Discussion reports no reduction in cardiovascular outcomes.

The Results (p. 1) report a small improvement in glycated hemoglobin with sitagliptin and no reduction in the primary cardiovascular outcome; Other Secondary Outcomes (p. 4) report no significant difference in deaths.

Cardiovascular Outcomes (p. 4) reports a substantially lower risk of cardiovascular death with empagliflozin, a slightly lower rate of myocardial infarction, and a slightly higher rate of stroke; the latter two differences were not significant. These findings support the citing paper’s characterization of heterogeneous directions and magnitudes among the primary composite’s components. The comparison with the present trial is the citing authors’ own framing. (LLM, conf=0.92)

The GLP-1RAs Glycaemic Efficacy section reports that liraglutide lowers fasting and postprandial glucose and HbA1c. The Non-glycaemic Effects section reports weight reductions with liraglutide, but it does not establish a blood-pressure reduction for liraglutide; it says a 52-week trial extension found no significant improvement in systolic blood pressure.

The Key messages and Results (Body weight; Blood pressure) support modest reductions in weight and systolic blood pressure with liraglutide and exenatide. The paper does not assess glucose-lowering efficacy; that part appears in titles in its References, but is not established by this analysis. Diastolic blood-pressure reductions were not statistically significant. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
