Interplay between the brain and adipose tissue: a metabolic conversation.
Review in EMBO reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The central nervous system and adipose tissue interact through complex communication. This bidirectional signaling regulates metabolic functions. The hypothalamus, a key homeostatic brain region, integrates exteroceptive and interoceptive signals to control appetite, energy expenditure, glucose, and lipid metabolism. This regulation is partly achieved via the nervous modulation of white (WAT) and brown (BAT) adipose tissue. In this review, we highlight the roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation in regulating WAT and BAT activities, such as lipolysis and thermogenesis. Adipose tissue, in turn, plays a dual role as an energy reservoir and an endocrine organ, secreting hormones that influence brain function and metabolic health. In addition, this review focuses on recently uncovered communication pathways, including extracellular vesicles and neuro-mesenchymal units, which add new layers of regulation and complexity to the brain-adipose tissue interaction. Finally, we also examine the consequences of disrupted communication between the brain and adipose tissue in metabolic disorders like obesity and type-2 diabetes, emphasizing the potential for new therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways to improve metabolic health.
