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

backgroundGinseng soluble dietary fiber (GSDF) has been shown to have good physicochemical properties; however, its in vivo benefits in obesity are yet to be fully elucidated.

methodsTo explore this, C57BL/6J obese mice were given metformin hydrochloride and different doses of GSDF for 60 days. The levels of blood lipids and inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA, and the pathological alterations were detected through the application of HE staining. The level of adipose tissue protein in epididymis was detected by Western blotting and through the effects of 16S rRNA sequencing on gut microbiota.

resultsThe results showed that GSDF significantly improved basal physiological indices, lipid levels, and serum cytokine levels in the obese mice. GSDF increased the expression levels of PPAR-γ, AMPK, and P-AMPK proteins, and lowered the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, and other proteins in the adipose tissues of the epididymis, in turn inhibiting adipogenesis and ameliorating lipid metabolism disorders. By lowering the

conclusionsThese results suggest that GSDF may have a positive effect on growth, obesity, and cecal health in obese mice.
