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

Various neural systems cooperate in feeding behaviour, and olfaction plays crucial roles in detecting and evaluating food objects. While odour-mediated feeding behaviour is highly adaptive and influenced by metabolic state, hedonic cues and learning processes, the underlying mechanism is not well understood. Feeding behaviour is regulated by orexigenic and anorexigenic neuromodulatory molecules. However, knowledge of their roles especially in higher olfactory areas is limited. Given the potentiation of feeding behaviour in hunger state, we systemically examined the expression of feeding-related neuromodulatory molecules in food-restricted mice through quantitative PCR, in the olfactory bulb (OB), olfactory tubercle (OT), and remaining olfactory cortical area (OC). The OT was further divided into attraction-related anteromedial, aversion-related lateral and remaining central regions. Examination of 23 molecules including neuropeptides, opioids, cannabinoids, and their receptors as well as signalling molecules showed that they had different expression patterns, with many showing elevated expression in the OT, especially in the anteromedial and central OT. Further, in mice trained with odour-food association, the expression was significantly altered and the increase or decrease of a given molecule varied among areas. These results suggest that different olfactory areas are regulated separately by feeding-related molecules, which contributes to the adaptive regulation of feeding behaviour.
