Brain-Derived GLP-1-Understanding the Physiological Function and Anti-obesity Potential of Preproglucagon Neurons.
Review in Endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced within the central nervous system (CNS) by preproglucagon (PPG) neurons. This brain-derived GLP-1, rather than that released from the gut, is the physiological agonist for brain GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs). With brain GLP-1Rs being a major target for eating suppression, understanding the physiology and the translational potential of PPG neurons is of pivotal importance, particularly since PPG neuron activation is also strongly associated with stress. This review critically summarizes the current knowledge of PPG neuron anatomy, physiology, and molecular makeup together with insight into the relevant research tools, and consideration of the different PPG neuron populations within the CNS, to provide an appraisal of the potential of these neurons as drug targets and the associated risks and benefits.
