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

The induction of nausea and emesis represents a significant barriers to optimizing weight loss medications for the treatment of obesity. Identifying mechanisms that improve tolerability and/or enhance efficacy without induction of emetic neurocircuitry could provide substantial therapeutic benefits. Candidate peptide YY (PYY)-based approaches for obesity treatment are no exception, as PYY-based therapeutics are uniformly associated with nausea and emesis. Recently, interest in glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR)-based therapeutics has resurfaced, with some paradoxical findings from several preclinical studies showing that both GIPR agonism and antagonism, when combined with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, result in greater body weight loss and superior glycemic control compared to GLP-1R agonism alone. Here, we investigated the effects of pharmacological modulation of the GIPR system on the actions of PYY. We found that systemic GIPR agonism attenuated PYY-induced malaise while preserving its anorectic and body weight-lowering effects in rats. Interestingly, GIPR antagonism enhanced PYY-induced hypophagia and body weight loss without compromising its malaise tolerability profile. Furthermore, inhibition of GIPR signaling significantly reduced PYY-induced c-Fos expression in the area postrema (AP) of the hindbrain. Since both NPY2R and GIPR are expressed in the same AP neurons, this suggests a potential neuronal pathway by which GIPR modulates the effects of PYY. Overall, our findings underscore the multifaceted actions of the GIPR system and highlight the therapeutic potential of both GIPR agonism and antagonism in enhancing and improving the effects of PYY-based obesity treatments.
