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

introductionMetabolic disorders are major global health concerns with increasing prevalence worldwide. Experimental evidence suggests the role of tachykinins and their receptors in metabolic regulation, neuroendocrine control, and inflammatory responses. This review aims to explore the implications of tachykinin receptors and their antagonists in the management of metabolic disorders.

methodsA comprehensive literature search was performed across major scientific databases to identify and analyze preclinical and clinical studies on tachykinin receptors and their antagonists in the context of metabolic disorders. The key mechanisms of action of drugs, important therapeutic outcomes, and challenges associated with drug development were covered.

resultsThe reported experimental and clinical studies suggest that the antagonists of NK1R, NK2R, and NK3R could influence glucose metabolism, lipid homeostasis, and appetite regulation. While NK1R antagonists, such as aprepitant, demonstrated anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, NK3R antagonists, including fezolinetant, showed promise in modulating energy balance and thermoregulation. DISCUSSION: These studies emphasized the emerging potential of tachykinin receptors and their antagonists in the management of metabolic dysfunctions. However, the challenges associated with its clinical translation, including receptor redundancy, limited biomarker-based patient stratification, and variations in receptor expression across species, are still relevant and need to be addressed to improve therapeutic outcomes.

conclusionTachykinin receptor antagonists hold significant potential as therapeutic agents in the management of metabolic disorders. Further studies are warranted to overcome translational barriers, address safety issues, validate biomarkers, and refine receptor selectivity to achieve maximum therapeutic benefits.
