Influence of Vegetarian and Nonvegetarian Diets on hs-CRP Levels, Lipid Profiles, and Cardiovascular Health in Adults.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aim: The study aims to explore the impact of vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels and lipid profiles to understand how different dietary patterns contribute to heart health and inflammation. Objective: To assess the effects of long-term vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets on hsCRP levels and lipid profile markers, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglyceride levels, in order to determine their potential role in reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted at the Department of Biochemistry, Maharashtra, India. A total of 70 participants aged between 25 and 45 years were included, with an equal distribution of vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Participants followed their designated diet for a period of seven years. Fasting blood samples were collected and analyzed using highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests and automated laboratory equipment to measure hsCRP and lipid profile levels. Results: The study found that vegetarian participants exhibited significantly lower hsCRP levels (1.2 ± 0.4 mg/L) compared to non-vegetarians (2.8 ± 0.6 mg/L). Additionally, vegetarians had more favorable lipid profiles, characterized by lower total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels, as well as higher HDL levels. These findings suggest that vegetarian diets contribute to reduced inflammation and enhanced heart health by improving lipid markers.
