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

Obesity and overweight represent critical public health problems worldwide, driving the search for effective strategies for their prevention and treatment. Modulating appetite and satiety through natural compounds present in the diet emerges as a promising approach to controlling energy intake and improving metabolic balance. This article reviews the molecular and physiological mechanisms involved in appetite regulation, including the function of gastrointestinal hormones (GLP-1, CCK, PYY, ghrelin), the role of the hypothalamus, and the influence of microbial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Different groups of compounds such as fibres, proteins, lipids, polyphenols, saponins, and alkaloids are analyzed in relation to their capacity to modulate both orexigenic (ghrelin) and anorexigenic signals (GLP-1, CCK, PYY), as well as their broader effects on neuroendocrine and metabolic pathways. Despite the growing body of preclinical evidence, results in humans are still limited and, at times, inconsistent, underscoring the need for long-term controlled studies to clarify their mechanisms and clinical potential. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathways through which dietary bioactive compounds can contribute to appetite regulation, providing a scientific basis for the development of nutritional interventions aimed at combating obesity and related metabolic disorders.
