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

Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, is an effective drug reducing body weight and decreasing motivation for palatable food. The mechanisms underlying its effects on food reward remain unclear. We aimed to determine the impact of semaglutide on food reward collection and dopamine-neuron activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) upon exposure to a cue-induced sucrose delivery task. Pitx3-cre mice were injected with cre-dependent GCaMP6s virus into the VTA, to measure the activity of dopaminergic neurons in the VTA using
