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

Obesity is a major global health concern associated with various metabolic disorders. Fucoidan, a seaweed-derived sulfated polysaccharide, has shown potential in alleviating obesity through modulation of gut microbiota. However, comparative effects of native and depolymerized fucoidan (Dfuc) on HFD-induced obesity and gut microbiota dysbiosis remain unclear. In this study, we compared the anti-obesity effects of fucoidan and Dfuc and evaluated their regulatory effects on gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in HFD-fed mice. Results showed that fucoidan and Dfuc reduced body weight gain, fat accumulation and hepatic lipid abnormalities. They also alleviated liver injury and oxidative stress and inflammation in hepatic and colonic tissues, with Dfuc significantly improving parameters such as serum AST, hepatic MDA, SOD activity, and TNF-α expression compared to the HF group. Furthermore, gut microbiota analysis showed that both fucoidan and Dfuc treatments enriched
