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

For more than two decades, peripheral administration of GLP-1 or GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist (GLP-1RA) curbs appetite and reduce body weight gain in animal models. More importantly, the body weight lowering effect has been effectively observed in clinical practice. There is no doubt that the target sites for GLP-1 or GLP-1RAs to exert those functions are located in the brain. It, however, remains controversy on exactly how these drugs access their targets in the brain. Here, we have discussed literatures on whether peripheral GLP-1 or GLP-1RAs enters the brain
