The Cardioprotective Effects of Nutritional Ketosis: Mechanisms and Clinical Implications.
Review in Nutrients, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) persist as the primary cause of death worldwide, accounting for roughly 17.9 million fatalities each year. The prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes (key risk factors for CVD) continues to escalate at an alarming rate, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies to address this global health crisis. Nutritional ketosis, induced through ketogenic diets, modified fasting, intermittent fasting, and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil consumption, has garnered attention for its potential cardioprotective effects. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body, due to a significantly reduced intake of carbohydrates, shifts its primary energy source from glucose to ketone bodies, i.e., beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), acetoacetate, and acetone, which are produced in the liver from fatty acids. This review examines the mechanisms by which ketone bodies, particularly BHB, mitigate cardiovascular risk. We focus mainly on the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties of BHB and summarize recent evidence to highlight the clinical relevance of ketosis in cardiometabolic health.
