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

Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death in children under five years of age globally. Traditional medicinal practices often use plants to manage gastrointestinal issues. Ammodaucus leucotrichus is a medicinal plant that holds significant importance in Moroccan traditional medicine for treating gastrointestinal problems. This study aimed to validate the traditional use of A. leucotrichus by providing scientific evidence for its efficacy. We evaluated the effectiveness of the methanol fraction of A. leucotrichus in alleviating diarrhea and reducing smooth muscle contractions using comprehensive in vivo and in vitro models. In vitro experiments were performed using an isotonic transducer in the jejunum of rats and rabbits. In vivo antidiarrheal effects were evaluated in mice with castor oil-induced diarrhea. The methanol fraction of A. leucotrichus (MFAl) inhibited diarrhea in a dose-dependent manner. It also exhibited spasmolytic activity at doses ranging from 5.5 to 65 μg/ml, with IC
