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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesHigh-protein (HP) diets may influence body composition, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function, but their interaction with probiotics remains unclear. This study evaluated the effects of HP feeding, alone or combined with

methodsThirty-two male Wistar rats were allocated to standard diet (SD), SD plus probiotics, HP diet, or HP plus probiotics for 10 weeks. Body weight gain, food and energy intake, visceral adiposity, plasma biochemical profile, adipose tissue histology, oxidative stress markers, mitochondrial electron transport chain activity, and plasma amino acids were assessed.

resultsFood and energy intake did not differ among groups. HP-fed animals showed lower weight gain, reduced visceral fat, and lower total cholesterol and triglycerides. Probiotics modulated selected redox-related outcomes, including methylglyoxal and sulfhydryl levels, with tissue-specific responses. Complex I activity increased in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, and plasma amino acid profiles were altered, particularly glutamate, leucine, aspartate, alanine, and methionine.

conclusionsHP feeding, with or without probiotics, modulated metabolic, redox, mitochondrial, and amino acid-related parameters in Wistar rats. These findings suggest that HP diets and probiotics may influence cardiometabolic adaptations, although tissue-specific responses and mechanisms require further investigation.
