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

backgroundSuppression of body weight and symptom of anorexia are major symptoms of depression. Recently, we reported that chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) induced suppression of body weight gain and anorexic feeding behavior in rats. These abnormalities were the result of disrupted malonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) signaling pathway in the hypothalamus. However, the condition of peripheral leptin and its hypothalamic downstream signal molecules which regulate hypothalamic malonyl-CoA level in the CSDS-exposed rats (CSDS rats) is still unknown.

resultsCSDS rats showed suppressed body weight gain and food intake. The weight of the CSDS rats' epididymal white adipose tissues was decreased when compared to the control rats. The plasma cholesterol concentration was decreased significantly in the CSDS rats compared to the control rats (P < 0.05). The plasma glucose concentration was slightly decreased in the CSDS rats compared to the control rats (P < 0.1). The expression of leptin mRNA in epididymal white adipose tissues and the plasma leptin concentration were decreased in CSDS rats. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of the hypothalamic downstream signals of leptin, including extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), was decreased in CSDS rats.

conclusionsOur results indicated that decreased peripheral leptin expression in CSDS rats could down-regulate the hypothalamic downstream signaling pathways of leptin while suppressed food intake. These data indicate that CSDS induces the down-regulation of hypothalamic AMPK following the elevation of hypothalamic malonyl-CoA levels and is independent of peripheral leptin and glucose.
