Bone morphogenetic protein 8B (BMP8B) increases the glucose sensitivity of ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) glucose-inhibited (GI) neurons in female mice.
Article in microPublication biology, 2025. 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
In female, but not male, mice, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 8B affects energy homeostasis by inhibiting AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). VMH glucose-inhibited (GI) neurons that express neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) increase blood glucose in an AMPK dependent fashion. We tested the hypothesis that BMP8B increases glucose inhibition on VMH nNOS-GI neurons. We found that more VMH nNOS neurons expressed the BMP8B receptor in females than males. Moreover, BMP8B blunted activation of VMH GI neurons in low glucose. Thus, VMH nNOS-GI neurons may mediate some of the metabolic effects of BMP8B in females.
