What fraction of loss on semaglutide is lean mass according to ESSENCE?

The particulars: semaglutide · ESSENCE.

I would like help reading this properly rather than being told what conclusion to reach.

I have the full report including the method section, so I can quote specifics if that helps.

What can I legitimately conclude from this figure?
