Time-restricted feeding in rodent obesity models: impact on body weights, lipid profile and glucoregulation.
Review in International journal of obesity (2005), 2026. 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
introductionDietary techniques such as time-restricted feeding (TRF) have received support in recent years due to their ability to improve metabolic health and prevent serious diseases. In scientific research, animal models are widely utilized to understand the physiological impacts of fasting and other dietary interventions, as they have similar physiology to humans. Several feeding windows ranging from 4 to 12 h have been reported in the literature. This review evaluates TRF protocols to determine the most effective feeding window for improving metabolic profiles.
methodsSeveral search keywords were utilized and only research articles published within the last fifteen years (2009-2024) were selected. Twelve studies were included in the final analysis to improve transparency.
resultsObesity was successfully induced within 6 weeks for 100% weight gain in C57BL/6 mice. The shortest duration of TRF intervention in mice is 6 weeks with 10 h of feeding. Meanwhile, induced obesity with 300% weight gain in Sprague-Dawley rats within 12 weeks. The shortest duration of TRF is 6 weeks with 8 h of feeding.
conclusionTRF was consistently associated with reductions in body weight and total cholesterol, concomitant with an increase in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in studies where these parameters were assessed. The most effective identified TRF regimen is a 10-h feeding window over 8 weeks in C57BL/6 mice. Future research on obesity may take into account the inclusion of different metabolic challenges to assess if the advantages of TRF are exclusive to any of the challenges or multiple challenges that contribute obesity. LIMITATIONS: A key limitation of this review is the heterogeneity in study protocols. The included studies varied in the duration of feeding hours (ranging from 4 to 12 h) using different rodent models. This research was funded by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, under the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS/1/2023/SKK06/UPM/02/2).
