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

Eating disorders and obesity are severe health conditions arising from an impaired body weight regulation. Both are strongly influenced by genetic factors. Accordingly, obesity can be broadly classified as either monogenic, caused by mutations in a single gene, or polygenic, resulting from the cumulative effects of numerous variants, each exerting modest effects on body weight. Although the genetic architecture of obesity is relatively well characterized, novel mutations underlying monogenic obesity are still being uncovered, and the mechanisms linking polygenic variants to the phenotype are not fully elucidated. In contrast, the genetic basis of eating disorders is considerably less well understood. Among these, anorexia nervosa has been the most intensively studied, with several genomic regions already associated with disease susceptibility. The present review summarizes the current knowledge about the genetics of obesity and anorexia nervosa, highlighting shared and distinct mechanisms and discusses emerging research directions.
