1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Oral delivery is the most preferred route for nutraceuticals due to its convenience and high patient compliance. However, bioavailability is often compromised by poor solubility, instability, and first-pass metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract. This review examines current and emerging oral delivery platforms designed to overcome these barriers and enhance nutraceutical efficacy. Traditional carriers-proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates-highlighting their delivery mechanisms and limitations, are first explored. Advancements in material science have led to novel platforms such as biodegradable polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-polyphenol networks (MPNs), and 3D printing technologies. Biodegradable polymers improve stability and enable controlled release of bioactives. MOFs offer high surface area and tunable porosity for encapsulating and protecting sensitive compounds. MPNs provide biocompatible, stimuli-responsive systems for targeted nutrient delivery. Meanwhile, 3D printing facilitates the fabrication of personalized delivery systems with precise control over composition and release kinetics, especially when integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) for precision nutrition. By comparing traditional and next-generation strategies, this review outlines key design principles for optimizing oral delivery systems. The transformative potential of these innovations is underscored to improve the bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes of nutraceuticals, ultimately advancing personalized and targeted nutrition solutions.
