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

Probiotics with "pharmabiotic" properties are increasingly recognized as effective tools for combating obesity by altering gut microbiota and reducing body fat. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-obesity effects remain largely unexplored due to the absence of a universal methodology. Herein, we developed a multiomics-based strategy to elucidate how probiotics reduce lipid production in adipocytes. Our initial investigation assessed the impact of probiotics at defined adipocyte differentiation stages. Leveraging these insights, we performed comprehensive multiomics analyses at key intervals to identify the suppression mechanisms of lipid formation.
