Effect of garlic extract on weight loss and gut microbiota composition in obese women: A double-blind randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: From a nutritional perspective, garlic extract could be a prebiotic product, which is useful for obese subjects, and one of its health-promoting underlying mechanisms is modulating gut microbiota composition. In this randomized double-blind clinical trial, the goal was to determine the effect of Materials and methods: Forty-three obese women were randomly divided into garlic extract (400 mg Results: In total, 16 subjects in each group completed the 2-month trial. Allium and placebo groups' participants had mean ages of 37.8 ± 7.4 and 34.2 ± 6.8 years, respectively ( Conclusion: In the both groups, a decrease in BMI and other anthropometric indices has been observed. Despite weight loss after following a low-calorie diet and taking Trial registration: This trial was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) (code: IRCT090420001825N2).
