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

The role of the gut-to-brain axis in the regulation of nutrient sensing has been studied extensively for decades. Research has mainly centered on vagal afferent and efferent neurotransmission along the gastrointestinal tract, followed by the integration of luminal information in the nodose ganglia and transmission to vagal integral sites in the brain. The physiological and cellular mechanisms of nutrient sensing by enterocytes and enteroendocrine cells have been well established; however, the roles of the enteric nervous system (ENS) remain elusive. Recent advances in targeting specific neuronal subpopulations and imaging techniques unravel the plausible roles of the ENS in nutrient sensing. In this review, we highlight physiological, cellular, and molecular insights that direct toward direct and indirect roles of the ENS in luminal nutrient sensing and vagal neurotransmission along the gut-brain axis and discuss functional maladaptations observed during metabolic insults, as observed during obesity and associated comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes.
