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

Recently, methylamine has been found as an endogenous amine, which is controlling food intake in mammals. However, there is no evidence about the effect of methylamine on feeding behavior in poultry. So, the present study was designed to evaluate the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of methylamine and involvement of central methylamine/dopaminergic systems on feeding behavior in neonatal meat type chicks. In experiment 1, chicks were ICV injected with different doses of methylamine (0.48, 0.96, 1.44, 1.92 and 2.40 μmol). In experiment 2, chicks received a dose of either the control solution, 2.40 μmol methylamine, 125 nmol L-DOPA (dopamine precursor) or a combination of methylamine plus L-DOPA. Experiments 3-7 were similar to experiment 2 except that 150 nmol 6-OHDA (dopamine synthase inhibitor), 5 nmol SCH23390 (D1 receptor antagonist), 5 nmol AMI-193 (D2 receptor antagonist), 6.4 nmol NGB2904 (D3 receptor antagonist) and 6 nmol L-741, 742 (D4 receptor antagonist) were used instead of 125 nmol L-DOPA, respectively. Cumulative food intake was determined until 2 h post-injection. According to the results, methylamine significantly decreased food intake in a dose dependent manner (p < 0.05). The inhibitory effect of methylamine on food intake was significantly attenuated by 6-OHDA, SCH23390 and AMI-193 (P < 0.05), but NGB2904 and L-741, 742 had no effect on food intake induced by methylamine. In addition, hypophagic effect of methylamine significantly amplified by L-DOPA (P < 0.05). These results suggest that methylamine decrease food intake and there is an interaction between methylamine and dopaminergic system via D1 and D2 receptors in chickens.
