A moderate lard-included diet reduces fat deposition and inflammation in the adipose tissue.
Article in NPJ science of food, 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
A diet high in animal fat is often linked to metabolic diseases like obesity. Nonetheless, the potential benefits associated with moderate consumption of animal fats are often underestimated. Here, we sought to compare the effects of moderate consumption of three types of fats/ oils-lard, camellia seed oil, and peanut oil-on body fat deposition. Unlike studies on high-fat diets, moderate lard intake significantly decreased lipid accumulation compared with vegetable oils in mice. Mechanistically, moderate lard intake elevated the level of serum taurocholic acid (TCA), which promoted the expression of genes related to lipolysis and the polarization of M2 macrophages in adipose tissue. In vitro experiments further confirmed the molecular mechanism underlying TCA's ability to attenuate lipid accumulation in adipocytes while promoting macrophage polarization. These results challenge traditional views on animal fats, showing that consuming lard at recommended levels can benefit metabolism by maintaining adipose tissue balance.
