Preparation, Structure, and Bioactivities of Medicinal and Edible Homologous Plant Polysaccharides: A Review.
Review in Food science & nutrition, 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
As of 2023, the National Health Commission has announced 102 MEHs varieties, with 94 being plant-erived. Their development and application show great potential. The plant polysaccharides (MEHPPs) are one category of the main and representative pharmacologically active macromolecules in MEH that have many biological activities both in vitro and in vivo, such as immune regulation, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, etc. In addition, the quality of MEHPPs obtained from different raw materials via sundry extraction and purification methods is different. At the same time, the structural analysis of MEHPPs is the focus of studying the molecular weight determination, monosaccharide composition, glucoside linkage mode, and partial conformation. Based on the literature search, this article reviews the preparation methods, structural characterization, biological activities, and potential mechanisms of MEHPPs. It provides a basis for the development of safe and effective health care products and new drugs for the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases.
