STEP, SURMOUNT, SURPASS, SELECT, FLOW, TRIUMPH — read the appendix
comment on [Baseline] units differ by country, post your reference ranges or nobody can help in c/bloodwork · 6 points · 16 days ago
Not to be pedantic but ApoB and bloodwork are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

ApoB from 15 to 31 is movement, not noise

ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

CagriSema ratios in trials are fixed, do not extrapolate self-mixing
comment on watch where the curves separate, not just whether they do in c/trialwatch · 6 points · 21 days ago
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

hair-loss on contraception is real
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify Mounjaro in c/tirzepatide · 7 points · 1 months ago
Did the the food-noise thing feel the same as on tirz or genuinely different?
comment on ALT — 6 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/bloodwork · 82 points · 1 months ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify amylin in c/cagrilintide · 53 points · 1 months ago
This is correct. The co-agonism is real.
comment on week 76 check-in — 26kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 4 points · 1 months ago
HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
comment on [Meta] the endpoint rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/trialwatch · 1 points · 1 months ago
dropout handling matters, especially on GI-heavy populations
comment on [Lab] 14th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/trialwatch · 11 points · 1 months ago
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
comment on small win: TRIUMPH stopped being a problem at week 15 in c/trialwatch · 32 points · 1 months ago
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
comment on unpopular opinion: Zepbound is massively overrated in c/tirzepatide · 12 points · 2 months ago

comment on help me understand FLOW, I have read the wiki twice in c/trialwatch · 35 points · 2 months ago
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
comment on SELECT: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/trialwatch · 20 points · 2 months ago
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
comment on switched from 1.0mg to 2.5mg and the the food-noise thing got better, not worse in c/tirzepatide · -48 points · 2 months ago
Did you stay on semaglutide or switch? The outcome is different if you are comparing.
comment on 18 months in and TRIUMPH is still the thing I get wrong in c/trialwatch · 87 points · 2 months ago
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
