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

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a condition where the body cannot respond properly to insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The first-line anti-T2DM drug is metformin, however, it has shown adverse effects, challenging the search for alternative natural drugs. Plant flavonoids stimulate cellular glucose uptake, decrease hyperglycemia, and regulate key signaling pathways in glucose metabolism. Brebes shallots ( Purpose: To evaluate the effects of the ethanol extract of Brebes shallots in improving IR conditions. Methods: Brebes shallots were collected from West Java, Indonesia. 500 g of the shallots were oven-dried and extracted using 70% ethanol for 3×24 h, the solvent was evaporated to a thick consistency, and the extract was abbreviated as EAA. The effects of EAA were studied in high-fat-high-fructose (HFHF)-induced Swiss-Webster male mice by performing the insulin tolerance test (ITT) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and the liver and pancreas index. The nutritional composition and quercetin levels in the extract were also determined. Results: The extraction process yielded a 28.1% EAA. EAA reduces % weight gain, blood glucose levels in OGTT, and liver and pancreas index. EAA significantly improved insulin tolerance in the HFHF-induced mice ( Conclusion:
