Effects of fermented oyster extract supplementation on free fatty acid and liver enzymes in older women with obesity.
Article in Physical activity and nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week intake of fermented oyster extract on free fatty acids and liver enzymes in older women with obesity and to provide basic data for improving liver function in older individuals with obesity.
methodsA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial aimed to confirm the effects of fermented oyster extract intake on free fatty acid (FFA) levels and liver function in older women with obesity. The study included 40 older women with obesity with a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2. Participants were divided into a fermented oyster intake group (n = 20) and control group (n = 20). Serum FFA, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels were measured at weeks 0 and 12.
resultsOur results showed an interaction effect between the two groups in terms of serum FFA levels (p<0.05), with a post-intervention decrease in the FSO group (p<0.05). AST, ALT, and GGT levels also showed an interaction effect between the two groups (p<0.05), with a significant postintervention decrease in the FSO group (p<0.05).
conclusionThe intake of fermented oyster extract significantly reduced FFA, ALT, AST, and GGT levels. These results suggested that the consumption of fermented oyster extract may improve liver function. However, the findings of this study were limited to elderly women with obesity, and the relatively short intake period and small sample size may limit the generalization of the results.
