How animal and plant-based proteins affect energy metabolism during the postprandial phase in overweight and obese men: a cross-over design study.
Trial report in Nutrition journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAnimal proteins (APs) and plant proteins (PPs) seem to exhibit different thermic and metabolic effects, which may be attributed to differences in amino acid profiles, bioavailability, and digestibility.
objectivesIn this study, we aimed to investigate and compare the postprandial effects of AP and PP meals on energy metabolism parameters, including resting energy expenditure (REE) and substrate oxidation (SO), in overweight and obese men.
methodsThis acute randomized crossover clinical trial involved forty-eight overweight and obese men, with a mean age of 33.48 ± 8.35 years and an average BMI of 29.15 ± 2.33 kg/m
resultsAfter controlling for baseline values, there was a significant effect of time (P < 0.05), protein source (P < 0.05), and protein source × time (P < 0.05) on REE, TEF, and carbohydrate oxidation. REE showed an increase following the consumption of both meals; however, the rise observed after AP (14.2%) was greater than that of PP (9.55%). The trends in TEF changes were similar to those of REE. The mean carbohydrate oxidation after consuming PP remained relatively stable throughout the test, whereas the AP meal gradually increased, reaching its peak at the 180th minute. The decline in carbohydrate oxidation was more pronounced following the AP meal than the PP meal by the end of the test.
conclusionThis clinical trial demonstrates that animal-based protein results in higher energy expenditure and carbohydrate oxidation than plant-based protein.
