Abstract

Background: Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) benefit weight maintenance for diabetic patients. We performed a systematic review to evaluate its weight loss effect on obese/overweight patients without diabetes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: Literature updated to M ay 5, 2014 from C ochrane L ibrary, MEDLINE, EMBASE and reference lists from relevant articles were identified. RCTs with GLP‐1 mimetics treating obese/overweight adults without diabetes for at least 12 weeks were assessed. Studies lacking primary measurements were excluded. Three authors extracted data independently. Either fixed‐effect or random‐effect models were used to calculate weighted mean differences (WMDs), combined relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) in meta‐analyses. Intertrial heterogeneity across studies was examined by I 2 and Q statistics. Results: A total of 1345 individuals retrieved from eight studies were involved and all included trials were of mild‐to‐moderate bias risks. Participants in GLP‐1RA groups achieved a larger weight loss than those in control groups (−2.85 kg, 95%CI −3.55 to −2.14), and liraglutide may work in a dose‐dependent fashion. GLP‐1RAs also reduced body mass index (BMI) and waist circumferences (WC) and benefited systolic blood pressure and triglyceride regulation. But GLP‐1RAs were associated with increased nausea and vomiting events. Conclusions: GLP‐1 mimetics induce a weight loss in addition to BMI and WC reduction in obese/overweight adults without diabetes. Further long‐term randomized trials and basic studies are required to investigate the mechanisms.

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.

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.
