1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Characterisation of the pharmacological profile of non-physiological amine oxidase substrates could help to identify the endogenous role of this class of enzymes. Previous studies have suggested that benzylamine, a common non-physiological substrate for monoamine and tissue-bound or soluble benzylamine oxidases, could behave as a potassium channel blocking agent. Potassium channel blockers are known to modify several forms of animal behaviour including food consumption. To characterise further the pharmacological profile of benzylamine and the role of amine oxidases, we have studied the effect of benzylamine on mice food intake. Our results confirm that benzylamine produces a reduction in mice feeding in a similar manner to that obtained by amphetamine. The anorectic effect of benzylamine and amphetamine in mice was potentiated by pretreatment with amine oxidase inhibitors. In addition, the introduction of substituents in the aromatic ring of benzylamine did not produce compounds with a higher anorectic potency than the one measured with benzylamine.
