Dietary Blueberry Supplementation Attenuates the Effects of an Ultra-Processed Food Cafeteria Diet on Weight Gain and Metabolic Parameters, Enhancing Nutrigenomic Profiles in C57BL/6 Mice.
Article in Molecular nutrition & food research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The cafeteria diet (CAFD) model mimics Western dietary patterns, inducing obesity in mice. Blueberry (BB) consumption improves metabolic outcomes due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, though mechanisms remain unclear. This study assessed BB supplementation effects on biometric, metabolic, and hepatic steatosis parameters in CAFD-fed mice, and analyzed obesity-related gene expression in adipose tissues, liver, muscle, and hypothalamus. Thirty-two male C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: Control (C, standard diet-SD; N = 10), CAF (CAFD + SD; N = 12), and BB (SD + CAFD + BB; N = 10). BB animals received 22.4 g of freeze-dried BB per week. After 16 weeks, biometric and glycemic parameters, insulin resistance (IR), hepatic steatosis, oxidative stress markers, and serum leptin, adiponectin, and irisin levels were evaluated. Expression of genes related to apoptosis, lipid and glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, and adipocytokine pathways was analyzed by qPCR. BB supplementation improved biometric, glycemic, IR, hepatic steatosis, and oxidative stress and antioxidant markers compared to CAF. Leptin, adiponectin, and irisin levels decreased in BB mice. Also, BB consumption modulated the expression of obesity-related genes. BB mitigated CAFD-induced weight gain, IR, hepatic steatosis, oxidative stress, and obesity-related gene dysregulation, highlighting its nutrigenomic potential.
