1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundOcimum suave willd is one of the plants traditionally used for the treatment of inflammation and related disorders in different parts of Ethiopia. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the analgesic and antipyretic activities of the solvent fractions (n-butanol and water) of O. suave aqueous leaves extract. MATERIALS AND

methodsAcetic acid writhing and tail flick tests were used to evaluate the analgesic activity, and yeast-induced fever in mice was used to evaluate the antipyretic activity of the solvent fractions.

resultsBoth solvent fractions exhibited inhibitory effect against acetic acid induced writhing at all tested dose levels in a dose dependent manner. The water fraction inhibited writhing by 47.69% at a dose of 200 mg/kg which was comparable to that by ASA, the standard drug. In the tail flick test, 200 mg/kg dose of both solvent fractions showed significant activity (P<0.05) after 0.5h, 1h and 3hrs of their administration. Both n- butanol and water fractions produced significant reduction in yeast induced fever at all doses employed.

conclusionFrom these findings, it can be concluded that the n-butanol and water fractions of O. suave aqueous leaves extract have potential analgesic and antipyretic activity in mice.
