Polyphenols and exercise in autophagy regulation: potential benefits for cancer management and healthspan.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Autophagy, a regulated cellular process, serves as both a tumor suppressor and a survival mechanism for tumor cells under stress in cancer. Recent studies demonstrate that polyphenols, bioactive compounds present in plant-derived foods, and exercise, a potent physiological stimulus, can efficiently modulate autophagy in both cancer patients and healthy individuals. This review explores the synergistic effects of polyphenols and exercise in regulating autophagy through key molecular pathways, including AMPK/mTOR, PI3K/Akt, and SIRT1/FOXO. Polyphenols such as quercetin, resveratrol, and curcumin possess autophagy-inducing properties, which may enhance exercise-induced cellular adaptations, contribute to cancer prevention, and improve metabolic health. Moreover, regular physical activity promotes autophagic flux, reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis resistance-factors critical in cancer progression and overall health maintenance. The review highlights the potential of polyphenol-exercise synergy in modulating autophagy, which may result in innovative therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment and metabolic health.
