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

Pancreatic lipase catalyzes the cleavage of triacylglycerols at the oil-water interface, and is known as the dominant determiner of dietary fat digestion. Reducing dietary fat digestion and absorption by modulating the activity of pancreatic lipase has become a favorable strategy to tackle obesity. Orlistat is, at present, the only pancreatic lipase inhibitor approved for the treatment of obesity; however, an array of gastrointestinal adverse effects associated with orlistat limits its tolerability. As a safe alternative to orlistat, a number of natural product-derived compounds with varying degrees of pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity have been reported. We herein reported that bioactivity-guided fractionation of sesame meal led to the identification of free linoleic acid and oleic acid as potent inhibitors of porcine pancreatic lipase in vitro with an IC50 of 23.1 µg/mL (82.4 µM) and 11.7 µg/mL (41.4 µM), respectively. In rats, a single oral dose of the mixture of these fatty acids significantly suppressed the elevation of blood triacylglycerol level following fat intake. These results substantiate the role of free linoleic acid and oleic acid as a novel class of natural product-derived functional molecules that act as pancreatic lipase inhibitors, and their potential for healthy, routine-based weight management.
