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 study examines the chemical composition and antimicrobial properties of petroleum ether and hydro-methanolic extracts of Achillea santolina from Algeria. Chemical profiling was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection for the hydro-methanolic extract and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the petroleum ether extract. Antibacterial and antifungal activities were evaluated using the disc diffusion method and broth dilution technique. Epicatechin (24.54 mg/g extract), and camphor (19.18%) were identified as main compounds in the hydro-methanolic and petroleum ether extracts, respectively. Both extracts showed significant antibacterial effects against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli strains, with inhibition diameters ranging from 10 to 13 mm, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values between 0.78 and 3.5 mg/mL. Anti-fungal activity was also notable, particularly against Candida albicans, with an inhibition diameter of 14 mm, and MIC values between 0.39 and 1.56 mg/mL. The hydro-methanolic extract showed up to 90% of growth inhibition against Aspergillus niger. These findings suggest that A. santolina could serve as a promising source of antimicrobial compounds to combat resistant pathogens.
