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: Obesity and related metabolic disorders, including metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes, are pressing global health concerns. Traditional Chinese medicine, specifically modified Lingguizhugan decoction (MLGZGD), has shown promise for managing these conditions. MLGZGD contains bioactive compounds that may modulate lipid metabolism and gut microbiota, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for obesity and associated metabolic disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of MLGZGD on obesity and lipid metabolism. Specifically, we sought to examine how MLGZGD influences gut microbiota, modulates lipid metabolism, and contributes to improved metabolic health using a multi-omics approach. Methods: This study identified the active compounds in MLGZGD using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The mice were divided into four groups ( Results: In normal mice, MLGZGD significantly altered the gut microbiota composition, increasing the abundance of beneficial genera such as Conclusions: MLGZGD effectively ameliorates obesity and lipid metabolism-related disorders by reshaping the gut microbiota and modulating lipid metabolism. These findings support the therapeutic potential of MLGZGD in treating obesity and related metabolic disorders, with modulation of gut microbiota and lipid metabolism as key mechanisms.
