Antiproliferative and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Encapsulated Opuntia Peel Polyphenols.
Article in Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A key pathophysiological feature of cancer and many chronic diseases is low-grade persistent inflammation. Given the importance of this condition, there is growing interest in natural products with both antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory properties, such as polyphenols. The antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities of free and encapsulated polyphenol extracts from six Mexican Opuntia (Cactaceae) species have been determined. Extracts from six Opuntia peel varieties were assessed for antiproliferative activity using Caco2 and THP1 cells, as well as for anti-inflammatory potential through nitric oxide scavenging using RAW 264.7 cells. Both the free and encapsulated polyphenol extracts exhibited antiproliferative and nitric oxide-scavenging activities, although encapsulation greatly enhanced these activities. Results show that the peel from Opuntia fruits, a waste byproduct of little value so far, is a source of bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties. This may represent a revalorization of Opuntia crops and wild species that grow in arid and semiarid regions.
