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

This review is aimed at understanding some of the common neurochemical, behavioral and physiological determinants of drug and food overconsumption. Much current work has been devoted to determining the similarities between the brain circuits controlling excessive use of addictive drugs and the overconsumption of palatable foods. The brain systems involved likely include peptides of both mesolimbic and hypothalamic origin. Evidence gathered from expression and injection studies suggests that the consumption of drugs, such as ethanol and nicotine, and also of palatable foods rich in fat is stimulated by different orexigenic peptides, such as enkephalin, galanin, orexin, and melaninconcentrating hormone, acting within the hypothalamus or various limbic structures, while another peptide, neuropeptide Y, is closely related to carbohydrate consumption and shows an inverse relationship with ethanol and nicotine consumption. Moreover, studies in animal models suggest that a propensity to overconsume these reinforcing substances may result from preexisting disturbances in these same peptide systems. These neurochemical disturbances, in turn, may also be closely linked to specific behaviors associated with excessive consummatory behavior, such as hyperactivity or novelty-seeking, palatable food preference, and also fluctuations in circulating lipid levels. Clear understanding of the relationship between these various determinants of consummatory behavior will allow researchers to effectively predict and examine at early stages of exposure animals that are prone to drug and food overconsumption. This work may ultimately aid in the identification of inherent traits that increase the risk for drug abuse and palatable food overconsumption.
