Anti-Obesity Effect of an Ethanol Extract of Cheongchunchal In Vitro and In Vivo.
Article in Nutrients, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cheongchunchal (CE) is a developed crop more highly enriched in cyanidin-3-O-glucoside chloride (anthocyanin) than conventional waxy corn. Anthocyanin has been proven to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-cancer effects. In this study, using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Cheongchunchal was confirmed to contain 8.99 mg/g anthocyanin. The inhibitory effect of an ethanol extract of Cheongchunchal (CE) on adipocyte differentiation was demonstrated using Oil Red O staining and a triglyceride assay. By conducting Western blotting, we also confirmed the regulatory effect of CE on adipocyte differentiation factors by assessing changes in the levels of factors that play a significant role in the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. A C57BL/6N mouse model of obesity was induced with a high-fat diet, and CE (400, 600, and 800 mg/kg/day) or Garcinia (245 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to verify the anti-obesity effect of CE. As a result of CE administration, the food efficiency ratio (FER), weight gain, and weight of tissues decreased. Additionally, blood biochemical changes were observed. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of CE on adipocytes was confirmed through morphological observation and the expression of adipocyte differentiation-related factors in the liver and fat tissues. Therefore, in this study, we verified the anti-obesity effects of anthocyanin-rich CE both in vitro and in vivo.
