Baseline weight and health, age, sex distribution, the proportion with diabetes, trial duration, escalation schedule, the intensity of lifestyle counselling, dropout handling and the placebo response. Each varied between the retatrutide phase 2 trial and the phase 3 trials of approved agents. Each affects the headline number.
The retatrutide obesity trial, for instance, excluded people with diabetes and ran 48 weeks; STEP 1 ran 68 weeks; SURMOUNT-1 ran 72 weeks.
Within one trial, participants are allocated to arms by chance, so the arms are alike in everything except the intervention. A difference between arms is therefore attributable to the intervention. Between trials no such allocation exists, and the difference is attributable to everything.
This is the entire reason head-to-head trials are run, and the reason their absence for retatrutide against approved agents is a real gap rather than a formality.
Network meta-analysis estimates comparisons between agents never tested together, using the chain of trials that connect them through common comparators. The estimates carry wider uncertainty than direct trials and depend on the assumption that trials are similar enough to connect. They are better than placing headlines side by side and weaker than a direct trial.
