The effect of ketogenic diet on adipokines levels: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials.
Synthesis in Acta diabetologica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundConsidering the impact of adipokines on metabolic syndrome-related disorders and even chronic illnesses, it would appear vital to look for efficient treatments for these variables. The goal of this study was to thoroughly examine how the ketogenic diet (KD) affects adipokines.
methodsUsing standard keywords, the databases Scopus, PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase were searched to find all controlled trials looking into how KD affected adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, and ghrelin). By using a random-effects model analysis, pooled weighted mean difference and 95% confidence intervals were obtained.
resultsThis article featured twenty-two studies. The combined results demonstrated that, as compared to the control group, leptin levels in all populations are significantly lower when KD is adhered to (WMD: - 0.14 ng/ml, 95% CI: - 8.66, - 3.61, P < 0.001). On the other hand, no discernible impact of this diet on ghrelin and adiponectin concentrations was noted. The subgroup analysis results demonstrated that the drop in leptin levels was considerably higher in persons with BMI > 30 kg/m
conclusionsGenerally speaking, this diet can be utilized as a potentially helpful supplementary therapy to improve this adipokine, given the significance that leptin plays on numerous metabolic illnesses.
