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

We examined whether orexin neurons might play a protective role against fasting- and adenosine-induced hypothermia. We first measured body temperature (BT) in orexin neuron-ablated (ORX-AB) mice and wild-type (WT) controls during 24 hours of fasting. As expected, the magnitude of BT drop and the length of time suffering from hypothermia were greater in ORX-AB mice than in WT mice. Orexin neurons were active just before onset of hypothermia and during the recovery period as revealed by calcium imaging in vivo using G-CaMP. We next examined adenosine-induced hypothermia via an intracerebroventricular administration of an adenosine A1 receptor agonist, N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), which induced hypothermia in both ORX-AB and WT mice. The dose of CHA required to initiate a hypothermic response in ORX-AB mice was more than 10 times larger than the dose for WT mice. Once hypothermia was established, the recovery was seemingly slower in ORX-AB mice. Activation of orexin neurons during the recovery phase was confirmed by immunohistochemistry for c-Fos. We propose that orexin neurons play dual roles (enhancer in the induction phase and compensator during the recovery phase) in adenosine-induced hypothermia and a protective/compensatory role in fasting-induced hypothermia.
