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

objectivesThe metabolites in aqueous extracts from wood bark, leaves, and stems were identified, and their in silico docking and in vitro cellular efficacy against

methodsThe extracts were analyzed by UHPLC/HRMS

resultsMetabolomics analysis identified 5100 metabolites in ESI+ and 2839 in ESI- spectra among the "mulateiro" samples. GNPS clustering highlighted large clusters of quercetin and chlorogenic acid groups. The most abundant metabolites were isofraxidin, scopoletin, 5(S)-5-carboxystrictosidine, loliolide, quercetin, quinic acid, caffeoylquinic acid (and isomers), chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, tryptophan, N-acetyltryptophan, epicatechin, procyanidin, and kaempferol-3-O-robinoside-7-O-rhamnoside. Molecular docking pointed to 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol as promising inhibitors. The in vitro assays yielded four active HPLC-fractions against

conclusionsThe ethnobotanical use of "mulateiro" wood bark tea as an antimalarial and antileishmanial agent was confirmed through in vitro assays. We speculate that these activities are attributed to linoleic acids and quinic acids.
