Cardiometabolic and Microbiome Effects of Spices and Herbs.
Review in Nutrition reviews, 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
This article appears as part of the supplement "The Role of Spices and Herbs on Supporting Healthy Diets and Improving Nutritional Status," sponsored by the McCormick Science Institute. Studies conducted at Penn State University to evaluate the effects of spices and herbs (S&H) on risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are summarized herein. We also report effects of S&H on phytochemical metabolites and the microbiome. Results demonstrate beneficial effects of S&H on postprandial endothelial function, insulin and triglycerides, pancreatic lipase, inflammatory markers, and measures of oxidative defense. In a controlled-feeding trial that evaluated 3 doses of S&H (0.5, 3.3, and 6.6 g/d per 2100 kcal) in the context of an average American diet, the high-S&H diet improved 24-hour blood pressure after 4 weeks, the moderate-S&H diet decreased proinflammatory cytokines, and the high-S&H diet reduced monocyte adherence. Our research also identified polyphenol metabolites that may have important functional properties for CVD risk reduction. Finally, we report benefits of S&H on gut bacterial composition, which suggests possible benefits on CVD risk.
