Effect of Long-Term Taurine Supplementation on the Lipid and Glycaemic Profile in Adults with Overweight or Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTaurine has been demonstrated to regulate and improve metabolic health. However, physiological and pathological differences among individuals with overweight or obesity may result in varied responses to taurine supplementation. This study aims to estimate the effects of long-term taurine supplementation on blood lipids, glycemia, and insulin sensitivity in adults with overweight or obesity through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
methodsThe literature search was based on six databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane, and SPORTDiscus) up to October 2024. Subgroup analyses were performed based on daily taurine intake dosage (<3 g or 3 g), overweight (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m
resultsThe final number of studies that met the inclusion criteria was 9 RCTs. The overall analysis showed that taurine supplementation significantly decreased TG (WMD = -0.56 mg/dL, 95% CI: -0.92 to -0.2,
conclusionsLong-term taurine supplementation is particularly effective in improving glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in obesity. Furthermore, higher doses of taurine (3 g per day) demonstrate even greater improvements in glycemic control.
