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

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor whose role in energy metabolism is obscure. Most of its physiological ligands are derived from tryptophan (TRP). Here, fifty male C57BL/6JRccHsd mice were assigned to one of five feeding groups, control diet (CD), high-fat diet (HFD; 45 % of energy from fat), HFD with only 70 % of the regular TRP concentration (HFDtrp), HFD supplemented with a weakly toxic AHR agonist C2 (HFDc2), or HFDtrp with C2 (HFDtrp-c2). All diets contained 2 % cholesterol and were fed for 18 weeks. On weeks 14-16, the mice were tested for gas exchange and locomotor activity, and on weeks 15-17 for glucose tolerance (GTT) and insulin sensitivity (ITT). At termination, tissue samples were collected for biochemical and AI-assisted histological analyses. Body weight gain (BWG) was only 28-38 % higher in the HFD groups than in the CD group, but the HFD-fed mice accumulated 43-61 % more fat. Calorie intake was greater in the two low-TRP groups than in the two other HFD groups, while BWG remained similar. C2 induced
