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

Introduction: Global obesity rates are rising, necessitating innovative interventions for appetite control. This study investigated whether subjective satiety-referred to as "hunger stress"-can be modulated using frequency-specific acoustic stimulation (neuro-music) designed to target neural markers associated with fullness. Methods: The research was conducted in two phases. Experiment 1 ( Results: Experiment 1 identified that satiety is characterized by significant elevations in beta (14-30 Hz) and gamma (>30 Hz) oscillations, along with a moderate increase in low-alpha (~9 Hz) power; these neural markers were correlated with reduced attentional bias toward food. In Experiment 2, although all tracks showed an initial placebo effect, only the beta/gamma neuro-music produced a prolonged suppression of hunger ( Discussion: These findings suggest that entraining high-frequency cortical rhythms can selectively extend satiety signals during periods of metabolic need. Although the effects were transient (approximately 30 min) and did not persist after snacking, frequency-targeted neuro-music represents a promising, non-invasive tool for assisting with acute dietary regulation and appetite management.
