Cardiovascular outcomes: the SELECT major-adverse-event result, SOUL, SUSTAIN 6 and REWIND, how to convert a hazard ratio into an absolute risk reduction, and whether the benefit is weight-mediated.
Details up front: PIONEER-4 · dulaglutide. This is presented as though it settles something, and I am not convinced it does. I have two documents that appear to…
The clinician who ordered the panel was not concerned; I would still like to understand it. Please show the division. I want to check my own against yours. I would…
Numbers first: SURPASS-2 · retatrutide. I can parse the result. I am less sure what it licenses me to conclude. I have deliberately not looked at anyone else’s…

Concretely: SOUL · liraglutide. The figures are clear enough; the question is what they mean and what they do not. I can supply the numbers if the specifics change…

Concretely: ESSENCE · tirzepatide. I would like to know the limits of what can be inferred from this. What I am trying to avoid is over-reading a single result, which…
I have three data points across nine months, which I hope is enough to see a trend. I would like the arithmetic checked rather than the conclusion asserted. I have…

Down 18% of body weight over ten months. My triglycerides have collapsed from 3.1 to 1.1 mmol/L, which is the change everyone predicted. My LDL-C has gone from 3.4 to…
My laboratory results are from the same laboratory each time, drawn fasting, which I gather matters. Please show the division. I want to check my own against yours. I…

My laboratory results are from the same laboratory each time, drawn fasting, which I gather matters. I want the working, not the result — I need to be able to redo it…
I keep seeing SELECT summarised as "semaglutide cuts heart attacks and strokes by 20%". I understand that 20% comes from the hazard ratio of 0.80, and I understand…
