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

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a peptide secreted from the intestine in response to nutrient ingestion, is perhaps best known for its effect on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. GLP-1 is also secreted from neurons in the caudal brainstem, and it is well-established that, in rodents, central administration of GLP-1 potently reduces food intake. Over the past decade, GLP-1 has emerged not only as an essential component of the system that regulates blood glucose levels but also as a viable therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, although GLP-1 receptor agonists are known to produce modest but statistically significant weight loss in patients with diabetes mellitus, our knowledge of how endogenous GLP-1 regulates food intake and body weight remains limited. The purpose of this Review is to discuss the evolution of our understanding of how endogenous GLP-1 modulates energy balance. Specifically, we consider contributions of both central and peripheral GLP-1 and propose an integrated model of short-term and long-term control of energy balance. Finally, we discuss this model with respect to current GLP-1-based therapies and suggest ongoing research in order to maximize the effectiveness of GLP-1-based treatment of obesity.
