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

Functional lipids (FL), including n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), modulate lipid composition and gene expression, potentially mitigating lipid accumulation and related metabolic disorders. This study investigated whether the combination of FL (cFL), derived from virgin flaxseed oil (vFO) and CLA, prevent cafeteria (CAF) diet-induced metabolic dysfunctions, under the hypothesis that they could exert beneficial synergetic effects. Male Wistar rats were fed control diet (C), CAF, or CAF enriched with FL (vFO, CLA, or both -cFL-) for 10 weeks. Nutritional parameters, body composition, serum and hepatic triacylglycerol (TAG), tissue fatty acid (FA) profile, enzymatic activities, and genes involved in lipid metabolism were evaluated. CAF diet increased energy intake (EI), fat depots and body weight. CLA and cFL attenuated body weight and adipose tissue (AT) gain, despite similar EI. In CAF, hepatic TAG increased whereas serum TAG levels decreased, likely reflecting enhanced lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity together with reduced TAG secretion rate (TAG-SR) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) expression. vFO and cFL groups modulated FA composition, increasing n-3 PUFA and reducing n-6 PUFA. CLA and cFL groups decreased hepatic TAG with enhanced β-oxidation. Nutrigenomic analysis revealed changes in several genes, indicating transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism in FL-enriched groups. In summary, cFL improved nutritional parameters and prevented hepatic TAG accumulation by enhancing lipid oxidation and TAG-SR, linked to transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism genes. cFL exerted synergistic effects, improving metabolic profile and mitigating CAF-induced alterations, supporting their potential application in precision nutrition strategies.
