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

Obesity is a widespread metabolic disorder linked to various conditions, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, and hyperuricemia. It significantly impacts quality of life and economic productivity. Traditional methods like diet and lifestyle changes often fail to produce substantial weight loss. Consequently, emerging treatments such as anti-obesity medications, bariatric surgery, and fecal microbiota transplantation are becoming more prominent. Recent research emphasizes the role of hormones that communicate with the hypothalamus through the gut-brain axis, affecting appetite, insulin secretion, and body weight via specific signaling pathways. This review explores the role of key gastrointestinal hormones (GLP-1, PYY, ghrelin, CCK, GIP, leptin, and bile acids) and their signaling pathways in metabolic regulation. The present research systematically evaluates the impact of bariatric surgery on appetite modulation and certain metabolic functions through key signaling pathways, including GLP-1R, GHS-R1a, and FXR/TGR5.
