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

Cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART), agouti-related proteins (AgRP) and Melanocortin 4 Receptor (MC4R) involves in the control of appetite. The genes were cloned and characterized, and their regulation was studied in common carp. The CARTI and CARTII genes encode 117- and 120-amino acids, respectively. The AgRP-1 and AgRP-2 genes encode 128- and 136-amino acids, respectively. CARTI was principally expressed in the brain, eye and ovary, while CARTII was highly expressed in the brain. AgRP-1 was strongly expressed in the brain, intestine, testis and eye, while AgRP-2 was highly expressed only in the gill and eye. The MC4R gene, encoding 326-amino acids, was mainly expressed in the brain testis, pituitary and eye. Phylogenetic analysis had been conducted which implied that both CARTI/CARTII and AgRP-1/AgRP-2 might derived from gene duplication events during genome evolution of common carp. CART, AgRP and MC4R gene expression in brain were decreased after fasting treatment and increased sharply after refeeding comparing with normal fed controls, which suggested that CART, AgRP and MC4R are involved in appetite regulation in common carp.
