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

Geraniin, an ellagitannin, has ameliorative properties against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome. Since geraniin has poor bioavailability, we hypothesised the interaction of this compound with gut microbiota as the main mechanism for improving metabolic aberrations. Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into normal diet (ND)- and HFD-fed animals and treated with geraniin and an enriched extract of geraniin (GEE). We observed that 5 mg geraniin and 115 mg GEE supplementation significantly attenuated glucose intolerance, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, total cholesterol, triacylglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein; improved insulin sensitivity; and significantly increased adiponectin and hepatic PPARα expression. Although geraniin and GEE did not significantly alter the gut microbial composition, we found an increment in the relative abundance of a few butyrate producers such as
