  • Body Mass Index (kg/m2)

  • Body weight and height (kg, m)

  • Cardiovascular outcome: MACE composite endpoint where available along with individual components (usually cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke—but check study documents) and hospitalisation for heart failure where available

  • Adverse events

Trial details
  • Trial identifier

  • Trial title

  • Brief description

  • Phase

  • Single vs multicentre trial

  • Geographical location of trial

  • Study design (eg, blinded)
