Dietary Polyphenols (Flavonoids) Derived from Plants for Use in Therapeutic Health: Antioxidant Performance, ROS, Molecular Mechanisms, and Bioavailability Limitations.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Plant polyphenols, particularly flavonoids, are prominent bioactives in preventive/complementary therapeutic strategies. This article analyzes how some polyphenols can mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation. These processes are involved in cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders. Polyphenols are explored through the integration of direct antioxidant chemistry (radical scavenging via hydrogen atom transfer/single-electron transfer/metal chelation), redox signaling (Keap1-Nrf2/ARE and inflammatory pathways), endogenous antioxidant enzyme systems, and mitochondrial quality control. Unlike previous descriptive reviews, a novel aspect of this manuscript is its evidence-based synthesis, fully supported by structured summary tables that explicitly detail limitations, contradictions, and context dependencies in in vitro, in vivo, and human studies, and identify clinically interpretable endpoints for their application. We describe relevant flavonoids and dietary sources, along with functional outcomes in cardiometabolic-cognitive/neuroprotective-immunometabolic contexts. We integrate representative clinical interventions and nutraceutical applications, highlighting where reported benefits are supported and where the evidence is preliminary. Bioavailability, microbiota-driven biotransformation, and dose realism are considered the primary determinants of in vivo relevance, rather than secondary or descriptive considerations. Future research should prioritize standardized exposure and metabolite profile, dose-appropriate interventions, harmonized clinical endpoints, and stratification strategies that account for microbiome-driven interindividual variability to improve reproducibility and inform nutraceutical and therapeutic use.
