Redox Imbalance in Inflammation: The Interplay of Oxidative and Reductive Stress.
Review in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 88 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
Redox imbalance plays a pivotal role in the regulation of inflammation, influencing both the onset and progression of various inflammatory conditions. While the pro-inflammatory role of oxidative stress (OS) is well established, the impact of reductive stress (RS)-a condition marked by excessive reducing equivalents such as NADH, NADPH, and reduced glutathione (GSH)-remains underappreciated. This review offers a novel integrative perspective by analyzing how OS and RS act not merely in opposition, but as interconnected modulators of immune function. We explore the mechanisms through which OS activates inflammatory pathways, and how RS, when sustained, can paradoxically impair immune defense, alter redox-sensitive signaling, and contribute to disease progression. Emphasis is placed on the dynamic interplay between these redox extremes and their combined contribution to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune, cardiovascular, and neuroinflammatory disorders. Additionally, we evaluate therapeutic strategies that target redox homeostasis, arguing for a shift from antioxidant-centric treatments to approaches that consider the bidirectional nature of redox dysregulation. This framework may inform the development of more precise interventions for inflammation-related diseases.
