Both GLP-1RAs and combination therapy resulted in significant weight loss, with GLP-1RAs showing a mean weight loss of −5.2 kg at 12 months.
Practitioners can expect GLP-1RAs to aid in weight management for liver transplant recipients with diabetes.

These remained significant in the GLP‐1RA (−5.2 kg, 95% CI [−8.7, −1.7], p = 0.0039) and combination therapy groups.
Why this rating
The study is based on a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.
