The therapeutic potential of naturally occurring 6-shogaol: an updated comprehensive review.
Review in Inflammopharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Shogaol, a significant bioactive constituent of ginger, is present in several forms, including 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-shogaol, with 6-shogaol identified as the most potent among them. Notably, 6-shogaol can be metabolized into 6-paradol, a compound that lacks pungency but retains biological activity. The primary focus of this review is to trace the diverse pharmacological effects of 6-shogaol, such as its anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, and to document the molecular mechanisms underlying these actions. 6-Shogaol's broad spectrum of benefits makes it valuable in the health, food, and beverage industries, where its unique taste, high biocompatibility, and ability to alleviate or prevent various health issues are particularly advantageous. Its multiple mechanisms of action, including the modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation, contribute to its reputation as a promising natural compound. By highlighting the therapeutic potential of 6-shogaol, this review aims to provide a scientific foundation for its future development, clinical application, and incorporation into functional foods or pharmaceuticals, ultimately supporting its role as a versatile agent in promoting human health.
