Editor's note
This is an indirect, cross-trial comparison of semaglutide and resmetirom for MASH with fibrosis, not a head-to-head trial. Indirect comparisons carry substantial methodological caveats and cannot establish superiority. Semaglutide is a genuine subject, so it carries moderate signal, but conclusions should be read cautiously given no abstract detail and the exploratory design.
Plain-language abstract
