Abstract

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: Primary objective To evaluate the relative benefits and harms of therapy with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), and their combination in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Secondary objectives To determine the relative rankings of GLP-1RA, SGLT2i, and their combination, according to their comparative efficacy for the critical outcomes identified in this review through a network meta-analysis.
