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

Serotonin is a well-known neurotransmitter that is synthesized from the amino acid, tryptophan. To date, more than 14 different serotonin receptors have been discovered; they exist universally in our body and enable diverse biological functions in different organs. Central serotonin regulates mood and behavior, and impacts the systemic energy balance by decreasing appetite. A number of drugs that modulate central serotonin function (e.g., fenfluramine, sibutramine and lorcaserin) were approved and used as anti-obesity drugs, but then later withdrawn due to adverse cardiovascular and carcinogenic effects. Over the past decade, the role of peripheral serotonin in regulating systemic energy metabolism has been extensively explored using tissue-specific knockout animal models. By inhibiting the action of serotonin in liver and adipose tissues, hepatic steatosis was improved and lipid accumulation was mitigated, respectively. Recent findings show that modulation of the serotonergic system is a promising therapeutic target for metabolic diseases. This review summarizes the role of serotonin in regulating energy metabolism in different organs, and discusses the potential of serotonin modulation for treating metabolic diseases.
