Predictive value of 1-hour postprandial SPARC levels on metabolic outcomes from Mediterranean diet adherence: results from a randomized controlled feeding study.

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
Precision nutrition is pivotal to preventing cardiometabolic diseases. However, almost no single blood biomarker capable of predicting the metabolic benefits of specific dietary patterns has yet been identified. Here, we revealed the associations of plasma levels of the secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), an inflammatory factor highly expressed in fat tissues, and insulin sensitivity improvement in a 6-month randomized controlled, calorie-restricted feeding trial recruiting 235 Chinese adults with overweight/obesity and prediabetes: the Mediterranean diet (MD) group (
