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

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a global health challenge mainly driven by chronic low-grade inflammation and persistent oxidative stress (OS). Current therapeutic and nutritional strategies often fail to resolve these interconnected core pathologies due to the multifactorial nature of MetS. Anthocyanins (ACNs), a class of potent dietary flavonoids, offer significant promise due to their established pleiotropic effects, including robust antioxidant activity through modulation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway, anti-inflammatory effects via NF-κB suppression, and overall support for glucose and lipid homeostasis. However, the therapeutic efficacy of ACNs is characterized by interindividual variability, which is intrinsically linked to their low systemic bioavailability. This heterogeneity in the response is due to the complex interplay between genetic polymorphisms affecting absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), as well as the specific biotransformation capacity of the gut microbiome. This review proposes that achieving the full clinical potential of ACNs requires moving beyond conventional nutritional advice. We propose that precision nutrition, which integrates multi-omics data (e.g., genomics, metagenomics, and metabolomics), can determine the individual phenotype, predict functional metabolic response, and tailor safer and effective ACN-rich interventions. This integrated, multifactorial approach is essential for optimizing the antioxidant and metabolic benefits of ACNs for the prevention and management of MetS and its associated pathologies.
