Preventive Effect of Powder Bergamot Juice (Citrus bergamia Risso & Poiteau) on Pathophysiological Processes of Renal Disease in an Experimental Western Diet Model.
Article in Molecular nutrition & food research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The Western diet (WD), rich in sugars and saturated fats, is linked to metabolic disturbances that contribute to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Natural antioxidants have been investigated in several diseases, including bergamot (Citrus bergamia), a citrus fruit rich in polyphenols with recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study evaluated the preventive effect of powder bergamot juice (PBJ) on renal alterations induced by WD in male Wistar rats. Animals were allocated into four groups (n = 7): control diet, control + PBJ (250 mg/kg), WD; and WD + PBJ for 20 weeks. WD groups also received 25% sucrose in drinking water. Nutritional, metabolic, hormonal, renal, and oxidative stress (OS) markers were measured. Statistical analyses included two-way ANOVA/Tukey's post-hoc and Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn's post-hoc (p < 0.05). WD increased caloric intake, body weight, adiposity index, glucose, triglycerides, and renal OS markers, and reduced kidney function. PBJ supplementation reduced adiposity and triglycerides, improved antioxidant enzyme activity, and preserved renal function. PBJ attenuated metabolic and oxidative alterations induced by WD, supporting its potential as a preventive strategy against early renal dysfunction associated with CKD.
