Structure-Function Correlations of Commercial Fucoidan Extracts: Antioxidant, Antiviral, Antifungal, Antibacterial and Prebiotic Activities.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed, reported to possess diverse biological activities that make it a molecule of great interest for nutraceutical and biomedical applications. A significant challenge to its wider implementation is a lack of understanding of the relationship between fucoidan's structural and chemical characteristics with its biological activity. So far, approaches to identifying these relationships have been limited to qualitative comparisons of chemical and biological datasets or through chemically modified fucoidans. This work aimed to apply a formal methodology to elucidate potential relationships worthy of further exploration. The biological activity of commercial fucoidan extracts was assessed after detailed chemical characterization. The extracts exhibited multiple bioactivities, notably antioxidant activity, antiviral activity against Nipah virus, antifungal activity against
