The Polyphenol-Microbiota Axis: Molecular Mechanisms, Metabolic Pathways, and Therapeutic Perspectives in Human Health.
Review in Journal of personalized medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Polyphenols are a diverse class of bioactive phytochemicals increasingly recognized for their ability to modulate human physiology through extensive interactions with the gut microbiota. This review provides a comprehensive and updated synthesis of the bidirectional polyphenol-microbiota relationship, emphasizing how dietary polyphenols reshape microbial community structure while intestinal microorganisms metabolize polyphenols into smaller, more bioavailable derivatives. These microbial metabolites-such as urolithins, phenolic acids, and dihydroresveratrol-exert amplified biological activities compared to their parent molecules, acting on key molecular pathways linked to oxidative stress, inflammation, energy homeostasis, and metabolic regulation. Through integration of mechanistic studies, multi-omics analyses, and emerging clinical evidence, this review outlines the potential of the polyphenol-microbiota-metabolite axis as a target for precision nutrition and microbiota-informed therapeutic interventions. The manuscript highlights ongoing challenges, including inter-individual variability in polyphenol metabolism, and proposes future research directions to advance the field of personalized nutrition.
