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

Introduction: Maternal obesity induces transgenerational metabolic syndrome (MS). The role of phlorizin (PHZ) in improving MS has been confirmed; however, the transgenerational metabolic benefits of PHZ in female offspring remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether perinatal PHZ intake could mitigate the adverse metabolic effects of maternal high-fat diet (HFD) in female offspring and to elucidate the role of the gut microbiota in mediating these transgenerational effects. Methods: C57BL/6 mice with maternal HFD ± perinatal PHZ (0.8 g/kg diet) intervention were used. After weaning, Female offspring's glucolipid metabolism, gut barrier, gut microbiota, and SCFAs were analyzed. Obesogenic dietary challenge and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) were implemented to verify microbiota mediation. Results: Maternal HFD induces metabolic abnormalities in female offspring, characterized by disrupted glucolipid metabolism during weaning and mild obesity. In adulthood, although these offspring did not display overt obesity, they exhibited gut microbial dysbiosis (increase Conclusion: Our findings suggested that maternal PHZ alleviates maternal HFD-induced transgenerational metabolic dysfunction in female offspring and is associated with modulation of the gut microbiota, positioning PHZ as a promising functional food component with transgenerational metabolic protective potential.
