Microbial metabolism of host-derived antioxidants.
Review in Current opinion in chemical biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Humans are exposed to a wide variety of small molecules with antioxidant properties that are poorly metabolized by mammalian cells. However, gastrointestinal microbes encode enzymes that convert these redox-active molecules into nutrient sources and electron acceptors to support bacterial growth in the gut. Here, we describe recent studies highlighting how microbial metabolism of host-derived antioxidants modulates interspecies interactions and provide an overview of the interdisciplinary approaches being used to map these metabolic pathways in vivo. Uncovering microbe-driven biotransformations of redox-active small molecules could create new opportunities to improve human health by modulating redox reactions at the host-microbe interface.
