Structured population data were available for 5 of 5 supporting studies. 3 studies described participants with type 2 diabetes. 5 studies described adult participants.

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

Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: active_comparator, placebo, usual_care.

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

Basal Insulin (Glargine)

Placebo

Core clinician-reference fields are available or not applicable.

Participants received GLP-1 (Liraglutide) in combination with metformin and sulfonylurea.

GLP-1 (Liraglutide)

We considered three treatment arms: GLP-1 (Liraglutide), basal insulin (glargine), and placebo. After training, virtual trials were conducted by sampling 232 virtual patients per arm (according to the LEAD-5 inclusion criteria) and predicting post-treatment outcomes.

Participants received basal insulin (glargine) in combination with metformin and sulfonylurea.

We considered three treatment arms: GLP-1 (Liraglutide), basal insulin (glargine), and placebo.

Participants received placebo in combination with metformin and sulfonylurea.

AI Emulation Shows GLP-1 Improves HbA1c in Type 2 Diabetes

Standard SWMS care

Participants received SWMS care plus a targeted prescribing pathway for liraglutide 3.0 mg.

Liraglutide 3.0 mg

Participants were randomly allocated (2:1, stratified by centre and BMI) to SWMS care plus a targeted prescribing pathway for once daily subcutaneous liraglutide 3 mg (intervention) with stopping rules at 16 (≥5% weight loss, WL), 32 (≥10% WL) and 52 weeks (≥15% WL) or to SWMS care alone (control) through an online randomization service.

Participants received standard SWMS care alone.

Liraglutide 3 mg pathway improves weight loss.

Liraglutide biosimilar shows significant weight reduction in T2DM patients

Source evidence could not be resolved sufficiently for this field.

Not extracted from the authoritative source.

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

Participants received liraglutide as a once-daily subcutaneous injection.

Liraglutide

Participants were randomized 2:1 to receive a once-daily subcutaneous injection of liraglutide (up to 1.8 mg/day) or placebo.

Participants received a placebo injection.

Authoritative quality diagnostic: source evidence unresolved.

Liraglutide improves glycaemic control in adults with T2D

Participants received liraglutide for 26 weeks.

Treatment with liraglutide, compared to placebo, decreased body weight, but did not modify plasma GDF15 levels in all patients, or when data were split by ethnicity.

Participants received placebo for 26 weeks.

Compared to placebo, liraglutide treatment for 26 weeks does not modify plasma GDF15 levels in Dutch Europid or South Asian patients with T2DM.
