    Summary · context
    This study compared the effects of hypoglycaemic drugs on beta-cell function among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients through a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
    Summary · context
    We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for RCTs of different hypoglycaemic drugs as T2DM treatment from database inception to December 1, 2024.
    Summary · context
    The primary outcome was homeostasis model assessment-β (HOMA-β), and the secondary outcome was glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c).
  2. 02HumanSystematic reviewEfficacy outcome

    In reviewed T2D patients, liraglutide was listed alongside metformin plus exenatide among treatments following glibenclamide plus rosiglitazone in HbA1c-lowering efficacy; no direct ranking-difference coefficient was reported.

    Summary
    For reducing HbA1c, glibenclamide + rosiglitazone was the most efficacious treatment (WMD = - 2.48, 95% CI - 3.67 to - 1.29), followed by metformin + exenatide (WMD = - 1.77, 95% CI - 2.25 to - 1.29) and liraglutide (WMD = - 1.77, 95% CI - 2.33 to - 1.21).
