Positive Effect of Fermented Camel Milk on Liver Enzymes of Adolescents with Metabolic Syndrome: a Double Blind, Randomized, Cross-over Trial.
Article in Materia socio-medica, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) has several health consequences. Liver enzymes elevation is among them.
aimThis study aimed to assess the effects of fermented Camel milk (FCM), as a functional food and dairy, on some features of MetS in adolescents including liver enzymes status, serum lipids and anthropometric measures.
methodsOverweight/obese adolescents with MetS were randomly assigned to FCM 250 cc per day for 8 weeks, a 4-week washout, and then to diluted Cow's yogurt (DCY) 250 cc per day for 8 weeks, or the reverse sequence. Anthropometric measures, liver enzymes and serum lipids were measured just before and after each one of the four periods. A three-day food record and physical activity questionnaire were completed before each period. Statistical analyses were done using Minitab and SPSS soft-wares considering the significance level of 0.05.
resultsTwenty-four participants with a mean age (SD) of 13.77 (1.87) years (range: 10.45-16.25) (58% girls) completed the study. It resulted significant mean reduction of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (-3.75 U/L [95% CI: -7.06; -0.43]; p=0.042) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (-2.54 U/L [95% CI: -3.33; -2.24], and p=0.006) and AST/ALT ratio (-0.16 U/L [95% CI: -0.28; -0.05]; p= 0.029) by FCM consumption in comparison to DCY. Non-significant favorable effects on anthropometric measures and serum lipids were seen as well.
conclusionAccording to the observed favorable effects of fermented camel milk on liver enzymes, its consumption may be considered as a functional food supplement in related circumstances.
