BDNF Gene as a Precision Skill of Obesity Management.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The scarcity of the results obtained for the treatment of obesity leads us to consider new strategies, contemplating all the factors involved in the development of the disease. One of the key molecules for controlling body weight and energy homeostasis is the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This work summarizes the mechanisms in which BDNF gene regulates this multifactorial disease. In addition, we discuss the role of other BDNF polymorphisms as genetic determinants of obesity. In this context, a total of 14 SNPs near or inside BDNF/BDNF-AS related to BMI were identified in various GWASs. Finally, we assess gene-diet interaction as a novel tool to prevent obesity and formulate solid and personalized nutritional management. Our research group has performed the first study on the association of BDNF-AS rs925946 polymorphism and calcium intake as potential modulators of the nutritional status. Although these results should be confirmed in future studies, they open the path for new prevention opportunities.
