Chronic Metformin Administration Does Not Alter Carotid Sinus Nerve Activity in Control Rats.
Article in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Metformin is a glucose-lowering, insulin-sensitizing drug that is commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). In the last decade, the carotid body (CB) has been described as a metabolic sensor implicated in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, being CB dysfunction crucial for the development of metabolic diseases, such as T2D. Knowing that metformin could activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and that AMPK has been described to have an important role in CB hypoxic chemotransduction, herein we have investigated the effect of chronic metformin administration on carotid sinus nerve (CSN) chemosensory activity in basal and hypoxic and hypercapnic conditions in control animals. Experiments were performed in male Wistar rats subjected to 3 weeks of metformin (200 mg/kg) administration in the drinking water. The effect of chronic metformin administration was tested in spontaneous and hypoxic (0% and 5% O
