Antimicrobial potential of Indian
Article in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2023. 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
Cinnamomum is the largest genus of Lauraceae family and has been used as spices, food, and food additives by the people. Total 15 Cinnamomum species are distributed in different parts of Indian sub-continent. Different parts (leaves, stem bark, stem wood, roots, flowers, and fruits) of these species were shade-dried and used for the determination of essential oils. A total of 19 essential oils were identified and quantified from the different parts of (leaf, stem bark, stem wood, root, flower, and fruit) of 15 Cinnamomum species. The stem bark of C. altissimum was rich in the presence of essential oils (52.2 %) whereas minimum levels of essential oils were recorded in roots (17.9 %). The γ-terpinene (11.1 %) was reported as the major component essential oil in C. subavenium flowers. Methanol extract of C. camphora stem wood showed stronger lowest minimum inhibitory concentration against S. aureus (25 ± 0.01 μg/ml), H. pylori (29 ± 0.05 μg/ml), B. subtilis (31 ± 0.03 μg/ml), E. faecalis (33 ± 0.01 μg/ml), C. albicans (38 ± 0.03 μg/ml) when compared to amoxycillin (S. aureus 56 ± 0.05 μg/ml; B. subtilis 27 ± 0.04 μg/ml, E. faecalis 22 ± 0.01 μg/ml), streptomycin (H. pylori 38 ± 0.02 μg/ml) and fluconazole (C. albicans 56 ± 0.01 μg/ml). Methanolic extract of C. camphora stem wood demonstrated maximum antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, H. pylori, B. subtilis, E. faecalis and C. albicans. The essential oil of C. altissimum stem bark displayed significant lowest MIC against S. aureus (21 ± 0.03 μg/ml), E. coli (22 ± 0.03 μg/ml), E. cloacae (37 ± 0.06 μg/ml), L. monocytogenes (47 ± 0.08 μg/ml), and P. chrysogenum (101 ± 0.07 μg/ml) when compared to amoxycillin (E. coli 18 ± 0.01 μg/ml, E. cloacae 21 ± 0.05 μg/ml, L. monocytogenes 31 ± 0.03 μg/ml), and fluconazole (P. chrysogenum 101 ± 0.07 μg/ml). The essential oil of C. altissimum stem bark displayed maximum antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, E. coli, E. cloacae, L. monocytogenes, and P. chrysogenum. Cinnamomum essential oils may be used as an alternative source of antibacterial and antifungal compounds in the treatment of various types of infections.
