We included studies enrolling adults with type 2 diabetes and PAD, comparing GLP\u20101RAs against placebo or other glucose\u2010lowering drugs. The primary outcomes were walking distance, MALE, or LEA. Data were pooled using a random\u2010effects model, with hazard ratios (HR) or risk ratios (RR). Risk of bias was assessed using RoB2 for RCTs and ROBINS\u2010I for cohort studies; evidence certainty was evaluated using the GRADE approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We included seven studies (3 RCTs, 4 cohorts) enrolling 107\u2009092 participants. The meta\u2010analysis of two RCTs with 847 participants demonstrated a significant improvement in walking distance with liraglutide or semaglutide (HR\u2009=\u20091.10, 95% CI 1.05\u20131.15,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with no heterogeneity (I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.0%) and moderate certainty of evidence. In the additional meta\u2010analysis of two RCTs with 3592 participants, the incidence of MALE or LEA did not differ significantly between patients receiving exenatide or semaglutide and those receiving placebo. The meta\u2010analysis of four cohort studies with 104\u2009292 participants showed that GLP\u20101RAs reduced the risk of LEA (RR\u2009=\u20090.53, 95% CI 0.39\u20130.73,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with high heterogeneity (I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u200985.96%), totally related to one study, and very low certainty of evidence.
