  • This story is about a class — GLP-1 and incretin therapies — rather than one compound. We track 14 compounds in it, holding 344 studies between them, 150 in humans.

Counted, not written: each line is a sentence filled in from the study counts above. None of it is a judgement about the story or the compound.
