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

Microbial protein, produced by fermentation of Fusarium venenatum is a promising candidate alternative protein source. Previous study has demonstrated its ability to improve hyperlipidemia in rats, yet the related mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of F. venenatum as an alternative protein source and its impact on lipid metabolism using multi-omics analysis. Initial experiments with Caenorhabditis elegans revealed that F. venenatum enhanced longevity, improved immune responses, and reduced lipid metabolism by downregulating fat synthesis-related genes. Subsequently, we conducted experiments with mice on a high-fat diet to confirm the anti-obesity effects of F. venenatum. The groups fed F. venenatum showed improved lipid profiles and reduced hepatic fat accumulation. Furthermore, fecal metabolomic analysis showed higher excretion of primary bile acid and cholesterol in the groups fed F. venenatum which might lead to a decrease in lipid digestion and hepatic fat accumulation. Collectively, this series of experiments revealed the potential of F. venenatum as a sustainable alternative protein and its application as an anti-obesity supplement.
