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

backgroundBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a pro-survival factor in the brain that also regulates energy balance. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis study comprised 201 adults with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35.0 kg/m

resultsAs a result, three missense variants [p.(Thr2Ile), p.(Val66Met), and p.(Arg209Gln)] and four synonymous variants (p.Leu107=, p.Thr149=, p.Ala150=, and p.Ser213=) were identified. The p.(Arg209Gln) was predicted as pathogenic by all in silico algorithms used and was not observed in the control group. The individuals carrying the p.(Val66Met) mutated allele had higher waist circumference, HDL-cholesterol and MCP1 levels, and reduced risk of developing metabolic syndrome.

conclusionWe observed that the common
