According to our findings, the incidence of AFL appeared to be lower in the GLP-1RAs group than in the control group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance.

The sentences
A slight trend toward an increased risk of AF was observed with dulaglutide, whereas the trend was not robust owing to the overweighting of the REWIND trial.
In further subgroup analyses, we observed an increasing trend toward incident AF with dulaglutide (RR 1.40, 95% CI 1.03–1.90) while an inverse trend with oral semaglutide (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.21–0.87).
Interestingly, subcutaneous semaglutide also seemed to be associated with a small, albeit marginally significant reduction in AF events.
