To evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on glycaemic control, body weight, and lipid profile in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Systematic review and network meta-analysis.
PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Embase from database inception to 19 August 2023.
Eligible randomised controlled trials enrolled adults with type 2 diabetes who received GLP-1RA treatments and compared effects with placebo or any GLP-1RA drug, with a follow-up duration of at least 12 weeks. Trials with a crossover design, non-inferiority studies comparing GLP-1RA and other drug classes without a placebo group, using withdrawn drugs, and non-English studies were deemed ineligible.
76 eligible trials involving 15 GLP-1RA drugs and 39 246 participants were included in this network meta-analysis; all subsequent estimates refer to the comparison with placebo. All 15 GLP-1RAs effectively lowered haemoglobin A and fasting plasma glucose concentrations. Tirzepatide induced the largest reduction of haemoglobin A concentrations (mean difference -2.10% (95% confidence interval -2.47% to -1.74%), surface under the cumulative ranking curve 94.2%; high confidence of evidence), and fasting plasma glucose concentrations (-3.12 mmol/L (-3.59 to -2.66), 97.2%; high confidence), and proved the most effective GLP-1RA drug for glycaemic control. Furthermore, GLP-1RAs were shown to have strong benefits to weight management for patients with type 2 diabetes. CagriSema (semaglutide with cagrilintide) resulted in the highest weight loss (mean difference -14.03 kg (95% confidence interval -17.05 to -11.00); high confidence of evidence), followed by tirzepatide (-8.47 kg (-9.68 to -7.26); high confidence). Semaglutide was effective in lowering the concentration of low density lipoprotein (-0.16 mmol/L (-0.30 to -0.02)) and total cholesterol (-0.48 mmol/L (-0.84 to -0.11)). Moreover, this study also raises awareness of gastrointestinal adverse events induced by GLP-1RAs, and concerns about safety are especially warranted for high dose administration.
GLP-1RAs are efficacious in treating adults with type 2 diabetes. Compared with the placebo, tirzepatide was the most effective GLP-1RA drug for glycaemic control by reducing haemoglobin A and fasting plasma glucose concentrations. GLP-1RAs also significantly improved weight management for type 2 diabetes, with CagriSema performing the best for weight loss. The results prompt safety concerns for GLP-1RAs, especially with high dose administration, regarding gastrointestinal adverse events.

评估胰高血糖素样肽-1受体激动剂(GLP-1RAs)对2型糖尿病成人患者血糖控制、体重和血脂水平的比较疗效及安全性。
系统评价和网状Meta分析。
从数据库建立至2023年8月19日的PubMed、科学网、Cochrane对照试验中心注册库(CENTRAL)和Embase。
符合条件的随机对照试验纳入接受GLP-1RA治疗的2型糖尿病成人患者,并将其疗效与安慰剂或任何GLP-1RA药物进行比较,随访时间至少12周。交叉设计试验、比较GLP-1RA与其他药物类别且无安慰剂组的非劣效性研究、使用撤市药物的研究以及非英文研究均被视为不符合条件。
该网状Meta分析纳入了76项符合条件的试验,涉及15种GLP-1RA药物和39246名参与者;所有后续估计值均指与安慰剂的比较。所有15种GLP-1RAs均有效降低糖化血红蛋白和空腹血糖浓度。替尔泊肽使糖化血红蛋白浓度降低幅度最大(平均差值-2.10%(95%置信区间-2.47%至-1.74%),累积排序曲线下面积94.2%;证据可信度高),空腹血糖浓度降低幅度也最大(-3.12 mmol/L(-3.59至-2.66),97.2%;证据可信度高),是控制血糖最有效的GLP-1RA药物。此外,GLP-1RAs对2型糖尿病患者的体重管理有显著益处。卡格列净司美格鲁肽(司美格鲁肽与卡格列净联用)导致体重减轻最多(平均差值-14.03 kg(95%置信区间-17.05至-11.00);证据可信度高),其次是替尔泊肽(-8.47 kg(-9.68至-7.26);证据可信度高)。司美格鲁肽有效降低低密度脂蛋白浓度(-0.16 mmol/L(-0.30至-0.02))和总胆固醇浓度(-0.48 mmol/L(-0.84至-0.11))。此外,本研究还提高了对GLP-1RAs所致胃肠道不良事件的认识,高剂量给药时尤其需要关注安全性。
GLP-1RAs对治疗2型糖尿病成人患者有效。与安慰剂相比,替尔泊肽通过降低糖化血红蛋白和空腹血糖浓度,是控制血糖最有效的GLP-1RA药物。GLP-1RAs还显著改善了2型糖尿病患者的体重管理,卡格列净司美格鲁肽在体重减轻方面表现最佳。结果提示GLP-1RAs存在安全性问题,尤其是高剂量给药时的胃肠道不良事件。
