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

Obesity with an increasing prevalence rate worldwide is correlated with multiple comorbidities. Unfortunately, the currently available therapies such as the pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery or gene-transfer technology are associated with a number of disadvantages including undesirable side effects, poor compliance or transient effectiveness. Therefore, modifications of the lifestyle factors might be of great importance. Recently, neurotrophic factors and their metabotrophic potential in targeted pharmacology against obesity has been the focus of intense research. Meanwhile, because of the complexity and multi-factorial nature of obesity, it will still remain as a challenging medical problem.
