AMPK in Intestinal Health and Disease: A Multifaceted Therapeutic Target for Metabolic and Inflammatory Disorders.
Review in Drug design, development and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The intestines play essential roles in nutrient absorption and immune function and help maintain a protective barrier. Disruptions to its function can result in various diseases, including metabolic disorders, inflammation, and cancer. As a key regulator of cellular energy levels, 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is essential for intestinal health. Beyond its established metabolic role, emerging evidence suggests that AMPK exerts profound effects on intestinal cell physiology, influencing cell proliferation and differentiation, inflammation, autophagy, barrier integrity, and smooth muscle contractility. Here, we explore the structure and regulation of AMPK, as well as its diverse roles in intestinal diseases and potential as a therapeutic target. Our findings reveal that AMPK is a multifaceted regulator of intestinal health, modulating various cellular processes and intestinal diseases. It plays a dual role in cancer, acting as both a tumor suppressor and promoter, and it regulates inflammatory pathways, autophagy, tight junction formation, and smooth muscle contractility. Both natural and synthetic AMPK activators offer promise as therapeutic agents. This review of AMPK's mechanisms and activators offers valuable insights for developing novel therapies for intestinal disorders. Further research is needed to fully define AMPK's roles and therapeutic potential.
