Protective role of sulforaphane in lipid metabolism-related diseases.
Review in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Sulforaphane (SFN) is a phytochemical bioactive substance commonly found in cruciferous plants, such as broccoli and mustard. It has been reported to possess antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer and autophagy regulating properties. Recent studies have revealed that SFN regulates fat metabolism both in vivo and in vitro through various mechanisms, including alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress, inhibiting inflammatory response and improving mitochondrial dysfunction, involving Nrf2/ARE, NF-κB, NLRP3 inflammasome, HDAC8-PGC1α axis and other signaling pathways. By curbing complications associated with abnormal fat metabolic diseases, SFN exhibits therapeutic effects on conditions like obesity, fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, etc., with minimal side effects. Therefore, it holds promise as a potential alternative treatment for lipid metabolism-related diseases. Although its extraction method has been matured, the thermal instability and preservation difficulties of SFN limit its clinical promotion. More effective and low-cost methods to improve the stability and production of SFN remain to be further studied. This paper reviews the physiological and biological activities of SFN, and summarizes the protective effects and molecular mechanisms of SFN in diseases related to abnormal lipid metabolism. Additionally, it proposes potential challenges, possible solutions and future research directions in the clinical application of SFN.
