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

objectivesKaempferide (Ka), a major natural active component of MATERIALS AND

methodsThe obese mice were induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). The anti-obesity effect was tested by liver and body weight, liver and adiposity index, and white adipose tissue. Blood sample analysis was used to detect the hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects. The anti-oxidation effect was assessed using GSH, SOD, MDA, CAT, T-AOC, and other indicators. The anti-inflammatory effect was assessed using TNF-α, MCP-1, and Adiponectin. Western blot and Real-Time PCR were used to evaluate the related signaling pathways.

resultsObesity, glycolipid metabolism disorder, inflammation, and oxidative stress developed in HFD mice. These changes can be effectively alleviated by Ka treatment for 16 weeks. Further studies have suggested that these beneficial effects of Ka may be associated with inhibition of the TLR4/IκBα/NF-κB signaling pathways.

conclusionKa possesses important anti-obesity, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic effects. The mechanism may be causally associated with the TLR4/IκBα/NF-κB signaling pathway, which improves inflammation and oxidative stress.
