Compared with placebo, liraglutide was the only drug that caused a significant improvement in left ventricular diastolic function (SMD, - 0.65; 95% CI, - 1.23 to - 0.08).
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
RCTs that assessed the effects on left ventricular diastolic function of OADs and GLP-1RAs in patients with type 2 diabetes were included.
Eight RCTs (592 patients) identified in a literature search met the eligibility criteria for this study and were included in the network meta-analysis.
