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
backgroundThe human gut microbiota performs a variety of essential physiological homeostasis functions, including the development of the immune system, nutrient synthesis, vitamin production, and energy metabolism. Ginger's extensive pharmacological actions include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and lipid-lowering effects. This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of ginger on the prevention of obesity through the modulation of gut microbiota.
methodsThis study was carried out as a systematic review in 2024 by searching on the reliable databases of PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus using the keywords "Obesity", "Gut-Microbiota", "Ginger" and their MeSH were analyzed with no time limit. Articles published in English that specifically focused on the beneficial effects of ginger in the prevention of obesity through the modulation of gut microbiota were included. Abstracts, letters to the editor, protocols, review articles and studies were inaccessible were excluded from consideration. To assess the quality of the included studies, a tool comprising 10 items was developed.
findingsGenerally, 3192 papers were retrieved from the above-mentioned databases and nine papers were considered for the present study after reading titles and abstracts and by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In all these studies, the impact of ginger on gut microbiota has been examined, with a consistent focus on its effects on obesity. Overall, the existing evidence suggests that ginger not only positively influences gut microbiota but also serves as an effective agent in the prevention and management of obesity.
conclusionThese findings highlight the potential of ginger as a natural and effective option in obesity management programs and for improving overall health. Nonetheless, it is clear that the amount of ginger ingested may influence its effects, and more research is required to establish the proper dosage and understand the exact how ginger supplementation works.
