Potential Lives Saved Through Widespread Global Availability of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: A Modeling Study
Brook, D.; Singer, P. A.
Show abstract
This model attempts to quantify the potential impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1) in reducing global mortality linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Using global population data, T2DM and obesity prevalence, cardiovascular risk, and mortality reduction from GLP-1s, we estimate that between ~2.1 million (for people with T2DM or obesity with CVD) and ~3.1 million (for people with T2DM or obesity with/without CVD) lives could be saved annually with widespread global access to GLP-1 receptor agonists.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
