Short communication: The effect of Propolis extract treatment on the Lee index and brain-body weight ratio in diet-induced obesity rats.
Article in Biochemistry and biophysics reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 severe public health concern that can impair brain structure and function. The potential anti-inflammatory and anti-obesogenic properties of propolis extract are beneficial in preventing brain damage after diet-induced obesity. The purpose of the study is to investigate the role of propolis extract in high-fat diet-induced obesity rats using the Lee index and brain-body weight ratio (BBWR). We divided the rats into the experimental groups as follows: CD (normal chow diet), CP (normal chow diet with propolis treatment), FD (high-fat diet), and FP (high-fat diet with propolis treatment). We administered propolis extract in CP and FP for nine weeks during 21 weeks of diet. The rat's body weight and length were measured for obesity evaluation. The brain of all experimental rats was harvested and weighed at the end of the study. We found that a chronic high-fat diet significantly increased body weight and the Lee index (
