Hericenones From Hericium erinaceus (Bull.) Pers.: A Scoping Review of Structural Diversity and Health Benefits.
Article in Chemistry & biodiversity, 2026. 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
Hericium erinaceus (Bull.) Pers., an edible and medicinal mushroom, has garnered significant scientific interest due to its rich array of bioactive compounds. Extensive research has highlighted the pharmacological properties of its constituents, including neuroprotective, neurotrophic, immunomodulatory, and anticancer activities. Among interesting bioactive secondary metabolites in H. erinaceus, hericenones-a structurally unique class of geranyl-resorcinol derivatives-have emerged as particularly promising pharmacological agents. This review comprehensively covers the 24 known natural hericenones and one semisynthetic derivative, detailing their structural elucidation with a focus on characteristic NMR spectroscopy to provide a systematic identification guide. Furthermore, the review discusses their biosynthesis, isolation methodologies, and beneficial biological properties. These include the stimulation of nerve growth factor (NGF), as well as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, antiplatelet, and anti-obesity. By integrating chemical and pharmacological perspectives, this work underscores the promise of hericenones as lead compounds for the development of novel therapeutics.
