Hydro alcoholic green tea extract effect on high fat diet treated NMRI mice and 3T3L1 cells.

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
purposeIn order to counteract the obesity has epidemics, since current anti-obesity drugs effects remain limited, there is a need to provide new options. As a project aiming to assess potential anti obesity natural compounds, the effects of consumption of a minimal dose of green tea hydro alcoholic extract (GT) on adipocyte differentiation of 3T3L1 cell line were investigated.
methodsObesity was induced in female NMRI mice (which are less used overall) by the use of a high fat diet. Mice were divided into four groups of control (C), treated control (TC), obese (O) and treated obese (TO). TC and TO groups received 8 mg/Kg/day of GT for 8 weeks, and weighted weekly, after what biochemical and histological parameters were measured. GT was used at doses of 100,150 and 200 µg/ml on 3T3L1, and staining with Oil-red-O was done for estimation of fat droplet accumulation.
resultsBody weight was found to be affected significantly by GT. Blood glucose levels did not show significant changes between groups, while triglycerides levels of the O group was significantly higher than the C group, but the TO group showed no significant difference with the C group upon GT treatment. Liver and visceral fat tissues showed more normalized tissue and less fat accumulation in the TO group. TO and TC groups showed an ameliorated morphologic state of liver tissues. GT was also able to decrease fat droplet formation in a dose-dependent manner.
conclusionsAdding a minimal amount of GT to the daily consumption may have preventive effects on fat accumulation in healthy subjects, while in obese cases, GT shows significant therapeutic effect.
