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

Interoceptive signals from gut and adipose tissue and sensory cues from the environment are integrated by hubs in the brain to regulate feeding behavior and maintain homeostatic control of body weight. In vivo neural recordings have revealed that these signals control the activity of multiple layers of hunger neurons and eating is not only the result of feedback correction to a set point, but can also be under the influence of anticipatory regulations. A series of recent technical developments have revealed how peripheral and sensory signals, in particular, from the gut are conveyed to the brain to integrate neural circuits. Here, we describe the mechanisms involved in gastrointestinal stimulation by nutrients and how these signals act on the hindbrain to generate motivated behaviors. We also consider the organization of multidirectional intra- and extrahypothalamic circuits and how this has created a framework for understanding neural control of feeding.
