Flavonoids in MASLD: preclinical mechanisms, pharmacological targets, and translational challenges.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 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
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, yet no pharmacological therapy has achieved regulatory approval. Flavonoids, plant-derived polyphenols encompassing seven structural subclasses, exhibit considerable preclinical promise through multi-target mechanisms but face translational barriers owing to poor oral bioavailability and insufficient clinical validation. This review systematically evaluates 33 structurally characterized single flavonoids for their therapeutic mechanisms, pharmacological targets, and translational prospects in MASLD, integrating evidence from cellular models, diverse rodent models, and available clinical trials. A tiered evidence classification (Levels A-C) was applied based on clinical data availability, multi-model validation, mechanistic depth, and study design rigor. Mechanistically, flavonoids restore hepatic lipid homeostasis by concurrently inhibiting SREBP-1c-mediated
