Dietary Tomato Pectin Attenuates Hepatic Insulin Resistance and Inflammation in High-Fat-Diet Mice by Regulating the PI3K/AKT Pathway.

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
Chronic metabolic disease is a serious global health issue, which is accompanied by impaired insulin resistance. Tomato pectin (TP) is a naturally soluble complex hetero-polysaccharide with various biological functions. However, the impact of TP on hepatic insulin resistance in a high-fat diet (HFD) and its potential mechanism remains largely unknown. The results revealed that TP treatment significantly decreased the liver weight, hepatic fat accumulation and hepatic injury in HFD-fed mice. TP also improved fasting blood glucose levels and glucose tolerance in HFD-fed mice. The underlying mechanisms involved in the inflammation, oxidative stress and insulin signaling in the liver were also investigated by RT-qPCR and western blot, which indicated that TP ameliorated hepatic insulin resistance by regulating the PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β pathway, increasing the expression of GLUT4, decreasing the expression of PECK and G6P as well as restoring antioxidant activities and suppressing the inflammation statues in HFD-fed mice. Our data showed that dietary TP has profound effects on hepatic insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress, demonstrating that TP might be a promising therapeutic agent against insulin resistance and related chronic metabolic disease.
