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

backgroundObesity induced by high-fat diet (HFD) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to evaluate the protective mechanism by which myrtle berry juice (MBJ) exhibits its anti-obesity and cardioprotective effects in HFD-fed rats. Additionally, the potential molecular mechanisms of delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, one of the bioactive compounds in myrtle berries, are investigated in silico. Male Wistar rats were fed an HFD for 6 weeks to induce obesity. They were then treated daily with either MBJ (10 mL kg

resultsFeeding HFD significantly elevated body weight and cardiac hypertrophy as well as myocardial total cholesterol, triacylglycerol and low-density lipoprotein. HFD induced also an oxidative stress status characterized by increased MDA levels, decreased antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GPx) and non-enzymatic antioxidants (GSH, SH), as well as myocardial reactive oxygen species (H

conclusionMBJ showed significant cardioprotective and hematoprotective effects against cardiac dysfunction and hematological alterations induced by HFD. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
