An appetite for research: an interview with Sadaf Farooqi.
Article in Disease models & mechanisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Professor Sadaf Farooqi is a clinician and researcher investigating the genetics underpinning obesity. Her research uncovered the first known genes that cause severe obesity, highlighting the significant role of appetite in regulating weight gain. Sadaf's work has been instrumental in proving that many observations in mice are also true in humans, paving the way for novel treatments and shifts in policy. After studying medicine at the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK, Sadaf completed her PhD on the genetics of severe childhood obesity at the University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK, marking the beginning of her impressive research career in this field. She is currently Professor of Metabolism and Medicine at the University of Cambridge and Honorary Consultant in Diabetes and Endocrinology at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK. Sadaf previously served on the Board of Directors for Disease Models & Mechanisms' publisher, The Company of Biologists. Here, we discuss the fascinating insights from her work on obesity and appetite, her approach to exploring new research questions, and how these discoveries can ultimately impact patients and society.
