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
Obesity is a growing public health concern characterized by excessive lipid accumulation and metabolic dysfunction. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum WB4201, WB4202, and WB4203 were isolated from kimchi and evaluated for their probiotic properties and anti-obesity effects. These strains exhibited strong probiotic potential, demonstrating high gastric tolerance, intestinal adhesion, and safety profiles. Notably, heat-treated L. plantarum strains significantly reduced triglyceride content and inhibited lipid accumulation by modulating metabolic pathways involved in adipogenesis, lipogenesis, and fatty acid β-oxidation. The heat-treated L. plantarum strains downregulated key regulators of adipocyte differentiation, including CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, and RAC-β serine/threonine-protein kinase. In addition, they suppressed lipid synthesis by downregulating the expression of fatty acid synthase, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1. Furthermore, they promoted fatty acid oxidation by increasing the expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 while reducing cluster of differentiation 36. These findings demonstrate that heat-treated L. plantarum WB4201, WB4202, and WB4203 can effectively modulate lipid metabolism and may serve as novel ingredients for the development of functional foods targeting obesity prevention and metabolic health improvement.
