Ecnoglutide, a novel long\u2010acting GLP\u20101 receptor agonist, has emerged as a promising therapeutic option.

Randomized controlled trials comparing ecnoglutide with placebo or active comparators in adults with T2DM were included. Primary outcomes were changes in HbA1c and body weight. Secondary outcomes included fasting plasma glucose, insulin resistance markers, lipid profile, liver enzymes, and adverse events. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB\u20102 tool. Meta\u2010analysis was performed using random\u2010effects models, with mean differences and risk ratios calculated at 95% confidence intervals.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Four RCTs comprising 1643 participants (1162 receiving ecnoglutide, 444 controls) were included.
