The role and challenges of plant extracts in obesity management.
Review in Molecular biology reports, 2025. 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
Obesity is a global epidemic with various health risks. Plant extracts have gained attention due to their potential in regulating lipid metabolism by inhibiting adipogenesis, stimulating lipolysis, and modulating cholesterol metabolism, as well as influencing energy homeostasis through appetite regulation and thermogenesis. Additionally, these extracts interact with the gut microbiota, further enhancing their metabolic effects. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated their effects on adipocyte differentiation, lipid accumulation, body weight reduction, and improvement in metabolic parameters. When combined with bariatric surgery, plant extracts may enhance weight loss and reduce postoperative complications. However, several challenges remain in plant extract research, including the identification of active compounds, standardization of preparations, and the translation of preclinical findings into clinical applications. Future research should focus on clarifying mechanisms, conducting well - designed clinical trials, exploring synergistic combinations with other strategies, and establishing standardized preparations for personalized treatment.
