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

Energy balance has in the hypothalamus a central component of integration of food intake and energy expenditure. An accumulating body of evidence indicates that energy homeostasis is largely affected by inflammatory challenges. Severe undernutrition caused by exacerbated inflammatory response may lead to cachexia. On the other hand, prolonged low-grade inflammation such as that observed in obesity and metabolic syndrome, raises the risk for the development of diabetes and heart diseases. Changes in circulating insulin and cytokines such as leptin, interleukins and tumor necrosis factor, as well as changes in their action in the hypothalamus drive the inhibition of food consumption during inflammation. The molecular pathways associated with these responses have only started to be unraveled. One potential candidate is the PI3K signaling, an important player in distinct hypothalamic neurons that control food intake. This study presents an overview of the current knowledge about PI3K role on cytokines and insulin signaling in the hypothalamic regulation of feeding during inflammation.
