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

Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruits, endemic to the Western Ghats were analyzed for its free, bound and esterified phenolics by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Overall, twenty-nine phenolic compounds were identified, amongst them 18 were detected in this fruit for the first time. Gallic acid (80.44 ± 8.74 mg/100 g) and ellagic acid (107.47 ± 7.28 mg/100 g) were the most prominent ones found in the bound phenolic fraction and gallic acid (103.76 ± 6.34 mg/100 g) in the esterified phenolic fraction of the fruit, respectively. Total Phenolic content was found to be highest in bound phenolics (7.09 ± 0.17 mg Gallic acid equivalent/g). The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the three extracts namely free, bound and esterified phenolic fruit fractions have been analyzed. Bound phenolics exhibited the highest antioxidant potential (DPPH-15.63 ± 0.86; ABTS-34.73 ± 0.07; FRAP-17.89 ± 0.27 mg/g Ascorbic acid equivalent). The bound phenolics showed good antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with a MIC of 0.156, 0.625 and 1.25 mg/mL respectively. The exploration of phenolic compounds in Indian variety of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruits may provide useful insights on its utilization as a functional food ingredient.
