From Hypothalamic Obesity to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Physiology Meets the Clinics via Metabolomics.
Article in Metabolites, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Metabolic health is tightly regulated by neuro-hormonal control, and systemic metabolic dysfunction may arise from altered function of the hypothalamic-anterior pituitary axis (HAPA). Ancient experimental observations of hypothalamic obesity (HO) and liver cirrhosis occurring among animals subjected to hypothalamic injury can now be explained using the more recent concepts of lipotoxicity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Lipotoxicity, the range of abnormalities resulting from the harmful effects of fatty acids accumulated in organs outside of adipose tissue, is the common pathogenic factor underlying closely related conditions like hypothalamic syndrome, HO, and MASLD. The hormonal deficits and the array of metabolic and metabolomic disturbances that occur in cases of HO are discussed, along with the cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead, within the MASLD spectrum, from uncomplicated steatotic liver disease to steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. Emphasis is placed on knowledge gaps and how they can be addressed through novel studies. Future investigations should adopt precision medicine approaches by precisely defining the hormonal imbalances and metabolic dysfunctions involved in each individual patient with HO, thus paving the way for tailored management of MASLD that develops in the context of altered HAPA.
