In the citing paper
“Several central stimulants have been used off label for the treatment of hypothalamic obesity such as methylphenidate, phentermine, dextroamphetamine, mazindol, caffeine, and ephedrine (121, 122, 137-139), but data on these drugs are based on small studies with mixed results.”

In the citing paper
“Children and adolescents with hypothalamic obesity have low sympathetic tone (142, 143), and thus may benefit from the stimulant-induced decrease in appetite (138, 144).”

“It has been shown that MPH increases DA signaling through actions at the synapse, specifically, through blockade of DA reuptake into the presynaptic terminal, increasing availability of pre-synaptic DA D2 autoreceptors and activation of D1 receptors on the postsynaptic neuron (Wilens, 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
