Research Progress on Chemical Compositions, Pharmacological Activities, and Toxicities of Quinone Compounds in Traditional Chinese Medicines.
Review in Toxics, 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
With the continuous development of research on natural medicines, quinone compounds have become increasingly important in the research field of chemical constituents of natural treatments. However, there is a lack of in-depth and systematic collation of their types, distribution, pharmacological activities, and potential toxicities. This article comprehensively reviews the structural types, biogenetic pathways, extraction and separation methods, structural identification techniques, pharmacological activities, and toxicities of quinone compounds. It is found that the main difficulties in the research of quinone compounds lie in the cumbersome traditional separation and structural identification processes, as well as the insufficient in-depth studies on the mechanisms of their activities and toxicities. This review aims to provide a reference for research on quinone compounds in natural products and offer ideas and suggestions for subsequent in-depth exploration of the pharmacological activities of quinone compounds, prevention and control of their toxicities, and the realization of rational drug use.
