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

A comparative study of the hypoglycemic and hypotriglyceridemic effects of raw and pasteurized camel milk was conducted on the lipid profiles of six groups of male normal and diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats (age, 7-8 weeks, 5/group). The standard procedure to induce diabetes in rats was to administer a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (55 mg/kg, body weight). Rats with fasting blood glucose levels higher than 250 mg/dL were considered diabetics. Raw and pasteurized camel milk reduced blood glucose and triacylglycerol (TAG) levels in diabetic rats. Raw camel milk showed no significant effect on low-density blood and lipoprotein cholesterol in diabetic rats. Contrarily, pasteurized camel milk significantly increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in diabetic rats. Comparative analysis revealed camel milk with higher levels of lactose, vitamin C, and mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and lower levels of fat, protein, ω6:ω3 PUFA (poly-unsaturated fatty acids), and index of atherogenicity than cow's milk. Experiments with cow's milk on rats were not carried out because of their characterized inexplicable traits. This novel study suggests that camel milk can be substituted for diabetic patients in place of cow's milk, assuring no side effects besides their effective hypoglycemic and hypotriglyceridemic qualities.
