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

Dietary supplementation with melinjo (Gnetum gnemon L.) seed extract (MSE) has been an integral part of an anti-obesity therapeutic regimen. To examine the relationship between anti-obesity and sleep, we explored the effect of MSE on sleep structure in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. Although HFD did not alter the total amount of daily sleep, it significantly reduced the average duration of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and wakefulness episodes and significantly increased the number of these episodes. These findings indicate fragmented NREM sleep due to repeated brief awakenings in the HFD-fed mice. When 1% (w/v) MSE was given to HFD-fed mice, their weight or sleep structure were comparable to those of ND-fed mice, proving that dietary MSE completely hindered HFD-induced weight gain and sleep/wake fragmentation. Our data provide compelling evidence that MSE is a novel and promising dietary supplement that restores obesity-induced sleep architecture changes in mice.
