A Systematic Review on Functional Bioactive Compound Atractylone: Natural Source, Pharmacological Properties and Mechanisms Insights.
Review in Food science & nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has garnered considerable attention due to its multifaceted therapeutic potential, characterized by a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, multiple biological targets, and a generally favorable safety profile. Atractylone, a bioactive sesquiterpenoid, has been noted to exhibit numerous pharmacological effects, including cytotoxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and gastroprotective activities. The isolation and structural characterization of this compound are essential for optimizing its pharmacological applications and unlocking its full therapeutic potential. Despite its promising bioactivity, to our knowledge, no comprehensive review has yet been dedicated to summarizing the current state of research on Atractylone. To tackle this gap, we conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines to define a clear research question and methodology. A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to collect all available information on Atractylone. This review aims to furnish a detailed analysis of its natural sources, biosynthetic pathways, and biological activities. By summarizing current knowledge, this article establishes a foundation for future research and encourages further exploration of Atractylone's therapeutic applications.
