Effects of hawthorn vinegar on high-fat diet-induced metabolic changes in obese rat model.
Article in Hormones (Athens, Greece), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeObesity is a significant health problem with rising incidence globally. Consuming diets or foods with bioactive nutrients is recommended to combat and prevent obesity. This study aimed to determine the effects of hawthorn vinegar, which contains many biologically active substances, on certain metabolic and inflammation parameters in obese rats.
methodsFifty Wistar albino male rats, aged 8-12 weeks, were randomly divided into four groups, as follows: control, healthy control administered hawthorn vinegar in drinking water (3%) (HV), high-fat diet-induced obese (HFD), and HFD + HV (high-fat diet-induced obese rats administered hawthorn vinegar in drinking water at 3%). After 5 weeks, leptin, adiponectin, galectin-3, CRP, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, glucose, ALT, and AST levels were analyzed in blood.
resultsBody weight gain was numerically lower in the HFD + HV group compared to the HFD group. Glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL, ALT, and AST levels were significantly higher in the HFD group than in the HV and control groups. Adiponectin levels decreased significantly, while galectin-3 and CRP levels increased in the HFD group compared to the other groups. In the HFD + HV group, leptin, glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels tended to be lower than in the HFD group. AST and HDL levels in the HFD + HV group were not significantly different from the healthy control parameters. Hawthorn vinegar increased adiponectin and decreased CRP and galectin-3 levels in obese rats, with values similar to those of the control group.
conclusionDaily consumption of hawthorn vinegar improved inflammatory and metabolic parameters in obese rats, suggesting its potential benefit for managing obesity-related health issues.
