Effects of fasting on HDL particle function and size distribution.
Review in Journal of lipid research, 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
The effects of fasting on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles remain an area of ongoing investigation. This narrative review examines the impact of various fasting regimens, including intermittent fasting (IF) and continuous fasting (CF), on HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), particle size distribution, and concentration. Current evidence on fasting's influence on HDL particles is limited and inconsistent, particularly in IF studies, where variability in HDL metrics, recruitment bias, and confounding factors-such as weight loss as a primary study goal-complicate interpretation. While some CF studies suggest a mild trend toward decreased HDL-C and alterations in HDL particle size distribution, the overall health implications of these changes remain unclear. Further research is needed to provide a more comprehensive understanding of how fasting affects HDL particles and their broader implication for health and disease.
