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

objectiveThe hypothalamus is a key region of the brain implicated in homeostatic regulation, and is an integral centre for the control of feeding behaviour. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are incretin hormones with potent glucoregulatory function through engagement of their respective cognate receptors, GLP-1R and GIPR. Recent evidence indicates that there is a synergistic effect of combining GIP- and GLP-1-based pharmacology on appetite and body weight. The mechanisms underlying the enhanced weight loss exhibited by GIPR/GLP-1R co-agonism are unknown. Gipr and Glp1r are expressed in the hypothalamus in both rodents and humans. To better understand incretin receptor-expressing cell populations, we compared the cell types and expression profiles of Gipr- and Glp1r-expressing hypothalamic cells using single-cell RNA sequencing.

methodsUsing Glp1r-Cre or Gipr-Cre transgenic mouse lines, fluorescent reporters were introduced into either Glp1r- or Gipr-expressing cells, respectively, upon crossing with a ROSA26-EYFP reporter strain. From the hypothalami of these mice, fluorescent Glp1r

resultsA total of 14,091 Glp1r

conclusionsWe have provided a detailed comparison of Glp1r and Gipr cells of the hypothalamus with single-cell resolution. This resource will provide mechanistic insight into how engaging Gipr- and Glp1r-expressing cells of the hypothalamus may result in changes in feeding behaviour and energy balance.
