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

As an important part of the limbic system of the forebrain, the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) plays a key role in stress response, emotion regulation, and motivational behavior. Recent studies have demonstrated that BNST plays a crucial role in the pathological process of appetite regulation, food selection, and eating disorders by integrating metabolic signals, reward feedback, and stress input. This article systematically reviews the anatomical subdivision, neural loop characteristics, and multimodal mechanisms of the BNST in food intake regulation; discusses its association with obesity, anorexia nervosa, and other diseases; and explores potential therapeutic strategies targeting the BNST.
