Effects of Cherry Consumption on Metabolic Health: A Pilot Clinical Study on Healthy Adults.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cherry consumption has been associated with several metabolic health benefits, due to their rich profile of bioactive compounds, including anthocyanins. This pilot clinical study, which is, to our knowledge, the first evaluating consumption of whole cherries, aimed to evaluate the effects of daily cherry consumption on oxidative stress, inflammation, glycaemic regulation, and other metabolic health markers in healthy adults. A total of 27 volunteers consumed 280 g of sweet cherries daily for 42 days, followed by a two-week post-intervention period. Significant improvements were observed in glucose regulation, including reduced HbA1c and estimated average glucose levels. Markers of inflammation, such as IL-6 and AGP-1 were significantly reduced during the intervention period. In addition, reductions in GGT and LDH indicated potential hepatoprotective effects. These results suggest that regular cherry consumption may serve as a preventive strategy against early metabolic dysfunction, highlighting the need for further investigation with larger, long-term clinical trials.
