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

The effects of soy protein and whey protein supplementation on glycemic control show inconsistency, and the mechanisms underlying the impact of a high-protein diet on blood glucose regulation remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the impact of a dual-protein (DP) blend comprising soy protein isolate (SPI) and whey protein concentrate (WPC), processed through high-pressure homogenization, on mice with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its potential mechanisms. In the in vitro experiments, an insulin-resistant (IR) HepG2 cell model was treated with DP, resulting in a significant enhancement of glucose uptake and upregulation of IRS1 and GLUT4 expression. For the in vivo experiments, male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned into four groups (n = 6) based on body weight: normal control, T2DM model group, Metformin-treated group, and DP-treated group. Following a 5-week feeding period, Metformin and DP significantly reduced levels of blood sugar, AUC, TC, TG, and LDL-C in T2DM mice. Additionally, TP and ALB levels in the DP group were notably higher in the model group. In the liver and pancreas, DP alleviated histopathological changes and promoted liver glycogen synthesis in T2DM mice. Moreover, the levels of IRS1 and PI3K in the livers of mice in the DP group were significantly higher than those in the model group. Compared with the model groups, DP significantly reduced the expression of CD45 and increased the expression of CD206 in the pancreas of mice. Furthermore, 16S rRNA analysis revealed that DP altered the composition of the gut microbiota in diabetic mice, increasing the relative abundance of
