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 is a multifactorial disease that can lead to other health issues. Glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1), as one of the satiety signal, has been linked with appetite suppression and weight loss. Due to the limitations of GLP-1 and its analogues, alternative treatments such as herbal therapies have become popular. The herbal formula RCM-107 has demonstrated its inhibitory effects on lipid and carbohydrate absorption in our previous work. However, no published data described its effects on GLP-1 secretion. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of RCM-107 and its individual ingredients on GLP-1 secretion via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Furthermore, molecular docking was performed to predict the key chemical compounds that are likely to be GLP-1 receptor agonists.
