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

Nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) A2 noradrenergic neurons are critical in regulating food intake. In addition to their well-established role in homeostatic feeding, there is also evidence indicating their contribution in non-homeostatic feeding behaviors. However, whether their control of homeostatic and non-homeostatic feeding behaviors is mediated via shared or separate neural circuits is not well understood. Given that NTS A2 neurons project to the lateral hypothalamus (LH), a brain region implicated in both homeostatic and non-homeostatic feeding, this study examined whether NTS A2 neurons project to LH (A2
