Quercetin supplementation in metabolic syndrome: nutrigenetic interactions with the Zbtb16 gene variant in rodent models.
Article in Genes & nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundQuercetin is a promising phytochemical in treating abnormalities associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to explore the morphometric, metabolic, transcriptomic, and nutrigenetic responses to quercetin supplementation using two genetically distinct MetS models that only differ in the variant of the MetS-related Zbtb16 gene (Zinc Finger And BTB Domain Containing 16).
resultsQuercetin supplementation led to a significant reduction in the relative weight of retroperitoneal adipose tissue in both investigated strains. A decrease in visceral (epididymal) fat mass, accompanied by an increase in brown fat mass after quercetin treatment, was observed exclusively in the SHR strain. While the levels of serum triglycerides decreased within both strains, the free fatty acids levels decreased in SHR-Zbtb16-Q rats only. The total serum cholesterol levels were not affected by quercetin in either of the two tested strains. While there were no significant changes in brown adipose tissue transcriptome, quercetin supplementation led to a pronounced gene expression shift in white retroperitoneal adipose tissue, particularly in SHR-Zbtb16-Q.
conclusionQuercetin administration ameliorates certain MetS-related features; however, the efficacy of the treatment exhibits subtle variations depending on the specific variant of the Zbtb16 gene.
