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

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) patients display developmental delays, endocrine dysfunction, excessive eating, central obesity, and various behavioral abnormalities. Effective and sustained treatments are limited, highlighting the need for new therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have revolutionized obesity treatment while their efficacy in PWS population remains inconsistent and data in PWS animal models are lacking. Here, we assessed the efficacy of a newly developed AAV platform to deliver a GLP-1RA exendin-4 via an engineered hybrid capsid Rec2. Intraperitoneal administration of Rec2-exendin-4 at the dose of 2 × 10
