What does the mechanism of a GLP-1 receptor agonist predict that SURMOUNT-4 did not test?

Details up front: a GLP-1 receptor agonist · SURMOUNT-4.

I can predict the outcome but I cannot explain it, which means I will get the next case wrong.

I would like to know how confident the field actually is about this.

What is actually going on here, physically?
