    Summary · context
    A Medline and Embase search for "exenatide" OR "liraglutide" OR "albiglutide" OR "dulaglutide" OR "lixisenatide" was performed, collecting randomized clinical trials (duration > 12 weeks) up to September 2016, comparing GLP-1 RA at the maximal approved dose with placebo or active drugs.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone3

In this study, Liraglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Liraglutide.

    In placebo-controlled trials, pooled GLP-1 receptor agonists reduced HbA1c at 24 weeks versus placebo (41 trials).

    In plain wordsIn trials, GLP-1 drugs as a group lowered HbA1c more than placebo at 24 weeks.

    Across GLP-1 receptor agonists, shorter-acting molecules appeared more effective in patients with lower fasting glucose, and longer-acting agents in patients with higher fasting glucose.

    In plain wordsAcross GLP-1 drugs as a group, short-acting ones seemed to work better with lower fasting glucose and long-acting ones with higher fasting glucose.

    Across GLP-1 receptor agonists, obesity and duration of diabetes did not appear to moderate the HbA1c efficacy.

    In plain wordsAcross GLP-1 drugs as a group, body weight and how long someone had diabetes did not seem to change how well the drugs worked.
