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

Background: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is crucial for overall energy homeostasis as a thermogenic organ with high metabolic activity. While the recruitment of BAT contributes to improved glycemic and lipid homeostasis, the exact molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Objective: This investigation compared the transcriptomic responses of semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist) and tirzepatide (dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist) on BAT in mice fed a high-fat, high-fructose diet (HFHFD). These outcomes enhance our understanding of the metabolic actions of GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists, providing a conceptual basis for future BAT-targeted therapeutic strategies. Methods: Twenty-eight male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to either a control group (CON; Results: Both semaglutide and tirzepatide reduced body weight, improved lipid profiles, and enhanced insulin sensitivity. Compared with the saline group, administration of semaglutide led to differential expression of 467 genes (199 downregulated and 268 upregulated), whereas tirzepatide modulated 40 genes (20 downregulated and 20 upregulated). Bioinformatic analysis identified Conclusion: Semaglutide and tirzepatide may share common targets (
