Structured population data were available for 3 of 3 supporting studies. 2 studies described participants with type 2 diabetes. 3 studies described adult participants.

1 relevant study has unresolved authoritative design evidence and does not contribute to design-specific or RoB-specific claims.

2 supporting studies do not have a displayable topic-matched quantitative effect.

Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: active_comparator, unknown_unresolved.

3 supporting studies have high, serious, critical, unclear, or unavailable risk-of-bias information.

Source evidence could not be resolved sufficiently for this field.

Available source content was suppressed because validation identified a conflict.

Metformin Group

Clinician-reference record is usable with limitations in: design, risk_of_bias.

Patients received semaglutide as part of their treatment regimen.

Semaglutide Group

Patients received either semaglutide, up to 1 mg subcutaneous (sc) weekly, or dulaglutide, up to 1.5 mg sc weekly, as the standard of care in addition to their usual medication regimen.

Patients received dulaglutide as part of their treatment regimen.

Dulaglutide Group

Patients received metformin as the control treatment.

Twenty subjects with T2DM and obesity were started on metformin and a diet and served as the control group.

Authoritative quality diagnostic: invalid or missing unit.

Authoritative quality diagnostic: invalid or missing value.

Dulaglutide 1.5 mg

Patients were randomized to once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 (n = 612), 3.0 (n = 616) or 4.5 mg (n = 614) for 52 weeks.

Tirzepatide Group

Core clinician-reference fields are available or not applicable.

Participants continued with and escalated to dulaglutide.

Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to continue with and escalate to dulaglutide 4.5 mg or maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Participants switched to tirzepatide with escalation.

Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to switch to tirzepatide with escalation to 15 mg or MTD.
