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

Previous research on sweeteners' effect on health has focused on indices of cardiometabolic risk factors without considering lipid ratios such as the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) and Castelli Risk Index I and II (CRI-I and CRI-II). The study sought to evaluate the effect of natural sweeteners on lipid profiles and lipid ratios. Seventy-eight female Sprague Dawley rats (6 rats per group) were administered with different doses of sweeteners (3 groups per sweetener): white sugar (0.035 g/mL, 0.07 g/mL, and 0.1 g/mL), brown sugar (0.036 g/mL, 0.072 g/mL, and 0.11 g/mL), honey (0.047 g/mL, 0.094 g/mL, and 0.14 g/mL) and stevia (0.004 g/mL, 0.014 g/mL, and 0.021 g/mL) for 17 weeks. The highest weight gain was observed with high-dose stevia administration (72.7 g ± 10.5). The group administered with high dose of white sugar had the highest CRI-I (1.79 ± 0.11) and CRI-II (0.49 ± 0.09). CRI-I and CRI-II had a dose-dependent increase with white sugar. The AIP was highest in the high-dose stevia group (0.21 ± 0.07) with dose-dependent increases within the stevia group. High intakes of white sugar and stevia tend to promote the development or progression of atherosclerosis.
