Phytochemical composition and antidiabetic, anti-obesity, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities of Carthamus tinctorius seed oil.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Carthamus tinctorius L. (Safflower) is widely used in traditional Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabian, and Persian herbal medicine to treat metabolic diseases. This study aimed to characterize C. tinctorius seed oil components and estimate its inhibitory effects on free radicals, porcine pancreatic lipase, α-amylase, and cytotoxic. To describe the phytochemical components of C. tinctorius seed oil, the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) technique was performed, while reference biochemical analytical assays were utilized for biological testing. The results showed that seven fatty acids accounting for 100% of the total oil were identified, and the major fatty acid was linoleic acid (79.98 ± 0.79%), followed by oleic (11.20 ± 0.21%) and palmitic (5.71 ± 0.12%) acids. The biological tests revealed that C. tinctorius seed oil has potent inhibitory effects on free radicals, porcine pancreatic lipase, and α-amylase, with IC
