The Effect of Cranberry Consumption on C-Reactive Protein and Interleukin-6: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Review in Food science & nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Previous clinical trials examining the effects of cranberry on inflammatory markers have yielded inconsistent results. This study specifically aimed to assess the influence of cranberry consumption on C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin-6 in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A thorough systematic review was conducted by searching ISI Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar up to December 21, 2024, with no language restrictions applied, by two independent authors. The results were synthesized using the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model. From an initial pool of 1882 articles, 10 were selected for the systematic review and meta-analysis. The findings indicated that cranberry did not significantly influence CRP (weighted mean differences (WMD): 0.01 mg/L; 95% CI: -0.38 to 0.40,
