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

The essential oils (EOs) of the aerial parts of Lippia origanoides (LiOr), collected in different localities of the Amazon region, were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and CG-MS. Principle component analysis (PCA) based on chemical composition grouped the oils in four chemotypes rich in mono- and sesquiterpenoids. Group I was characterized by 1,8-cineole and α-terpineol (LiOr-1 and LiOr-4) and group II by thymol (LiOr-2). The oil LiOr-3 showed β-caryophyllene, α-phellandrene and β-phellandrene as predominant and LiOr-5 was rich in (E)-nerolidol and β-caryophyllene. All samples were evaluated for antioxidant activity and inhibition of tyrosinase in vitro and in silico. The highest antioxidant activity by the DPPH free radical method was observed in LiOr-2 and LiOr-5 oils (132.1 and 82.7 mg TE∙mL-1, respectively). The tyrosinase inhibition potential was performed using L-tyrosine and L-DOPA as substrates and all samples were more effective in the first step of oxidation. The inhibition by samples LiOr-2 and LiOr-4 were 84.7% and 62.6%, respectively. The samples LiOr-1, LiOr-4 and LiOr-5 displayed an interaction with copper (II) ion with bathochromic shift around 15 nm. In order to elucidate the mechanism of inhibition of the main compounds, a molecular docking study was carried out. All compounds displayed an interaction between an oxygen and Cu or histidine residues with distances less than 4 Å. The best docking energies were observed with thymol and (E)-nerolidol (-79.8 kcal.mol-1), which suggested H-bonding interactions with Met281 and His263 (thymol) and His259, His263 ((E)-nerolidol).
