Brain Cells that Control When We Feel Hungry.
Article in Frontiers for young minds, 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
As humans, we can use words like "hungry" and "full" to communicate when we need to eat throughout the day. However, mice, which are commonly used to study feeding behaviors in the laboratory, cannot tell us what they are feeling. We trained mice to tell us whether they were hungry or full. Then, we turned on and turned off certain cells in a brain region called the hypothalamus to see if these specific cell types could make a mouse feel hungry or full. Our research showed that turning on specific brain cells in a region called the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus caused mice to report they were hungry, even if they had just eaten and their stomachs should feel full. These results give us clues about how the brain works to control hunger.
