Abstract

To investigate whether the antidiabetic agent glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) can exert anti‐inflammatory effects while lowering blood glucose, we performed a meta‐analysis and systematic review.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a systematic review, done in people. Its evidence level is 1 of 5 (Highest · pooled evidence). Pooled evidence from several studies sits at the top of the evidence pyramid.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
