Semaglutide and suicidality: preprint reports inconclusive, low-certainty estimates
This Bayesian meta-analysis is a preprint and has not been peer reviewed in the version cited.
This Bayesian meta-analysis is a preprint and has not been peer reviewed in the version cited. Events were rare, estimates were imprecise, and the authors rated certainty as very low for every outcome. The analysis did not provide conclusive evidence of either increased or decreased suicidality. Its numerical estimates should not be presented as proof that semaglutide causes or prevents suicide.
