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

Knockout (KO) mice missing the sweet taste receptor subunit T1R3 or the signaling protein TRPM5 have greatly attenuated sweetener preferences. Yet both types of KO mice develop preferences for glucose but not fructose in 24-h tests, which has been attributed to the postoral reinforcing actions of glucose. Here we probed for residual sugar taste sensitivity in KO mice. Unlike wildtype (WT) mice, food-restricted T1R3 KO and TRPM5 KO mice displayed little attraction for 8% glucose and 8% fructose in 1-min, two-bottle choice tests. However, in 1-h tests about half of the T1R3 KO mice displayed a significant preference for glucose over fructose (78-84%), while WT mice showed either no or weak preferences (41-56%) for glucose. Following one-bottle training sessions, WT mice display greater glucose preferences although still weaker than those observed in T1R3 KO mice. In contrast, TRPM5 KO mice were indifferent to sugars in 1-h tests but developed a strong preference for glucose over fructose in 24-h tests. T1R3 taste cells contain the sodium glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and the ATP-gated K+ (K
