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 BBSome is a protein complex composed of eight Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) proteins. Although the BBSome is best known for its role in regulating cilia function, accumulating evidence indicates that this protein complex is also involved in various cellular processes, including mitochondrial dynamics and receptor trafficking to the plasma membrane. BBSome deficiency is associated with a range of diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. Research into the mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders caused by BBSome deficiency has uncovered novel pathways of metabolic regulation, particularly within the hypothalamus. In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the role of the hypothalamic BBSome in the control of energy and glucose homeostasis and explore the underlying mechanisms.
