Integration of molecular networking and fingerprint analysis for studying constituents in Microctis Folium.
Article in PloS one, 2020. 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
Microctis Folium is the dried leaves of a plant (Microcos paniculata L.) used to improve the digestive system, alleviate diarrhoea, and relieve fever, but information regarding its chemical composition has rarely been reported. The traditional research approach of determining chemical composition has included isolating, purifying, and identifying compounds with high-cost and time-consuming processes. In this study, molecular networking (MN) and fingerprint analysis were integrated as a comprehensive approach to study the chemical composition of Microctis Folium by an ultra fast liquid chromatography-photo diode array detector-triple-time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-DAD-Triple TOF-MS/MS). Large numbers of mass spectrometric data were processed to identify constituents, and the identified compounds and their unknown analogues were comprehensively depicted as visualized figures comprising distinct families by MN. A validated fingerprint methodology was established to quantitatively determine compounds in Microctis Folium. Ultimately, 165 constituents were identified in Microctis Folium for the first time and the identified compounds and approximately five hundred unknown analogues were applied to create visualized figures by MN, indicating compound groups and their chemical structure analogues in Microctis Folium. The validated fingerprint methodology was indicated to be specific, repeatable, precise, and stable and was used to determine 15 batches of samples during three seasons in three districts. Furthermore, seasonal or geographic environmental influences on the chemical profile were estimated by principal coordinate analysis. The results can be used to control the quality of Microctis Folium, observe seasonal or geographic environmental influences on the chemical profiles, and provide a reference for further exploitation of potential active unknown analogues in the future.
