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.
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
introductionAgouti-Related Peptide (AgRP) is expressed primarily in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, stimulates appetite and decreases metabolism and energy expenditure. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between serum Agouti-Related Peptide (AgRP) levels and metabolic syndrome in euthymic bipolar patients.
methodsForty euthymic bipolar patients who used only mood stabilizer for at least three months and 40 healthy volunteers as control group were included in the study. We measured fasting blood glucose levels and serum levels of AgRP, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) of all participants. The main outcome measure was the difference between patients and control groups in terms of metabolic syndrome frequency and the relationship between serum AgRP level and metabolic syndrome is also investigated.
resultsThe metabolic syndrome was significantly more common in euthymic bipolar patients than in control group (p=0.039). Additionally, levels of blood glucose and triglyceride were significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group (p=0.006 and 0.01 respectively). Serum AgRP levels did not differ between the patient and control groups (p=0.35). Also, in euthymic bipolar patients, there was no significant difference in serum AgRP levels between patients with metabolic syndrome and those without (p=0.754).
conclusionWe found significantly higher frequency of metabolic syndrome in euthymic bipolar patients than in the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the levels of serum AgRP between bipolar patients with and without metabolic syndrome in either study groups.
