Antioxidant Effect of Curcumin and Its Impact on Mitochondria: Evidence from Biological Models.
Review in Journal of xenobiotics, 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
Curcumin, the principal active component of turmeric, is a polyphenol that has been used in various countries for the treatment of numerous conditions due to its wide range of health benefits. Curcumin exhibits bifunctional antioxidant properties: the first is attributed to its chemical structure, which enables it to directly neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS); the second is related to its ability to induce the expression of antioxidant enzymes via the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Both ROS and Nrf2 are closely associated with mitochondrial function and metabolism, and their dysregulation may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, potentially contributing to the development of various pathological conditions. Therefore, curcumin treatment appears highly promising and is strongly associated with the preservation of mitochondrial function. The aim of this review is to summarize the current literature on the impact of curcumin's antioxidant properties on mitochondrial function. Specifically, studies conducted in different biological models are included, with emphasis on aspects such as mitochondrial respiration, antioxidant enzyme activity, interactions with mitochondrial membranes, and the role of curcumin in the regulation of intrinsic apoptosis.
