Fibroblast growth factor 19 stimulates water intake.
Article in Molecular metabolism, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is a hormone with pleiotropic metabolic functions, leading to ongoing development of analogues for treatment of metabolic disorders. On the other hand, FGF19 is overexpressed in a sub-group of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and has oncogenic properties. It is therefore crucial to precisely define FGF19 effects, notably in the context of chronic exposure to elevated concentrations of the hormone. Here, we used hydrodynamic gene transfer to generate a transgenic mouse model with long-term FGF19 hepatic overexpression. We describe a novel effect of FGF19, namely the stimulation of water intake. This phenotype, lasting at least over a 6-month period, depends on signaling in the central nervous system and is independent of FGF21, although it mimics some of its features. We further show that HCC patients with high levels of circulating FGF19 have a reduced natremia, indicating dipsogenic features. The present study provides evidence of a new activity of FGF19, which could be clinically relevant in the context of FGF19 overexpressing cancers and in the course of treatment of metabolic disorders by FGF19 analogues.
