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

Neurotensin (NT) is implicated in the regulation of energy homeostasis, in addition to its many described physiological functions. NT is postulated to mediate, in part, the effects of leptin in the hypothalamus. We generated clonal, immortalized hypothalamic cell lines, N-39 and N-36/1, which are the first representative NT-expressing cell models available for the investigation of NT gene regulation and control mechanisms. The cell lines express the Ob-Rb leptin receptor neuropeptide Y (NPY)-Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5 receptors, melanocortin 4 receptor, insulin receptor, and the NT receptor. NT mRNA levels are induced by approximately 1.5-fold to twofold with leptin, insulin, and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone treatments but not by NPY. Leptin-mediated induction of NT gene expression was biphasic at 10(-11) and 10(-7) M. The leptin responsive region was localized to within -381 to -250 bp of the 5' regulatory region of the NT gene. Furthermore, we demonstrated direct leptin-mediated signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) binding to this region at 10(-11) m, but not 10(-7) m leptin, in chromatin precipitation assays. Leptin-induced NT regulation was attenuated by dominant-negative STAT3 protein expression. These data support the hypothesis that NT may have a direct role in the neuroendocrine control of feeding and energy homeostasis.
