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

Obesity is closely associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other long-term health complications. The indication of browning in white adipose tissue (WAT) has emerged as a promising strategy to combat obesity. This study investigates the effect of stachyose (STA) on WAT browning in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Our findings demonstrated that STA significantly inhibited body weight gain, improved glucose tolerance, and reduced serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers in HFD-induced overweight mice. STA administration promoted WAT browning and enhanced brown adipose tissue activity, as evidenced by increased protein levels of uncoupling protein 1 and other browning markers. Additionally, STA treatment modulated gut microbiota composition, regulated hepatic bile acids levels, and maintained intestinal barrier integrity. These results suggest that STA alleviates obesity by inducing WAT browning and modulating gut microbiota.
