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

BACKGROUND/

objectiveLimited studies have examined the effects of meals containing processed foods or ultra-processed foods (UPF) on appetite regulation and results were inconsistent and difficult to generalize. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the potential efficacy of two different breakfasts containing processed foods or UPF on postprandial appetite regulation in adults with different body mass index (BMI).

methodsTwenty-eight participants (eighteen with normal BMI (BMI: 18.50-24.99 kg/m

resultsDaily energy, macro and micronutrients consumption were similar across BMI groups for both breakfast in prior the experiment and throughout the rest of the experimental day (p > 0.05). The total area under the curve (tAUC) for hunger sensation and insulin were higher after the UPF Breakfast compared to the Processed Breakfast (p = 0.009, p = 0.016, respectively). Other data were no different both between breakfast types and different BMI groups.

conclusionOverall, while short-term appetite hormone responses to UPF Breakfast and Processed Breakfasts were similar, higher insulin levels and subjective feelings of hunger, following UPF Breakfast independent of BMI status. These findings suggest that the degree of food processing, rather than BMI, may influence specific aspects of postprandial appetite regulation.
