Calculating Diet-Induced Thermogenesis in Mice.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) is the increase in energy expenditure (EE) associated with food intake. Increasing DIT may lead to weight loss, so it is expected that increasing DIT will decrease body mass index and body fat mass. DIT in humans has been measured in various ways, but there is no way to calculate absolute DIT values in mice. Therefore, we developed a method to measure DIT in mice by applying a method more commonly used in humans. First, we measure the energy metabolism of mice under fasting conditions. EE is then plotted against the square root of activity, and a linear regression equation is fitted to the data. Next, we measure the energy metabolism of mice fed ad libitum and plotted EE in the same way. DIT is calculated by subtracting the predicted EE value from the EE value of mice fed at the same activity count. This method not only allows observation of the time course of the absolute value of DIT but also allows calculation of the ratio of DIT to caloric intake and the ratio of DIT to EE.
