Efficacy outcomes included body weight change (Weeks 12 and 16) and mean HbA1c change (Weeks 12 and 24). Safety outcomes included mortality, cardiovascular events, and adverse events (AEs).

TZP 15\u2009mg achieved the greatest reduction in body weight at Week 16 (mean difference [MD] vs. TZP 5\u2009mg: \u22122.68\u2009kg; 95% CI \u22124.98 to \u22120.38), while TZP 1\u2009mg (MD: 4.39\u2009kg; 95% CI 1.28 to 7.51) and DULA 0.75\u2009mg (MD: 3.10\u2009kg; 95% CI 0.25 to 5.96) were associated with smaller reductions relative to TZP 5\u2009mg. TZP 15\u2009mg also produced the largest HbA1c reduction at Week 24 (MD vs. TZP 5\u2009mg: \u22120.40%; 95% CI \u22120.62 to \u22120.19), compared with TZP 10 mg (MD: \u22120.23%; 95% CI \u22120.44 to \u22120.02) and DULA 1.5\u2009mg (MD: 0.67%; 95% CI 0.25 to 1.09). No significant differences were observed between treatments for all\u2010cause mortality or major cardiovascular events. Gastrointestinal AEs were more frequent with higher TZP doses, especially TZP 15\u2009mg vs. TZP 5\u2009mg for nausea, while serious AEs and severe hypoglycemia were similar across doses.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher TZP doses potentially improve efficacy, while lower TZP\/DULA doses enhance tolerability, supporting individualized T2DM care. However, these findings should be interpreted cautiously because several comparisons are indirect, many participants had not reached their maintenance dose, several safety outcomes were based on
