However, its gastrointestinal (GI), hepatic and pancreatic safety profile has not been systematically evaluated. This network meta\u2010analysis aimed to assess GI adverse events (AEs), hepatic and pancreatic outcomes, and enzyme changes across different OFG doses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A frequentist network meta\u2010analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assess the GI effects of OFG in adults with or without T2DM. We considered random\u2010effects models to express treatment effects as odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).

High\u2010dose OFG (45\u2009mg) markedly increased nausea (OR 11.48, 95% CI: 6.52\u201320.21), vomiting (OR 11.48, 95% CI: 6.52\u201320.21), diarrhoea (OR 3.99, 95% CI: 2.07\u20137.70) and discontinuation due to GI AEs (OR 10.22, 95% CI: 4.99\u201320.94).
