Aromatic Herbs as a Source of Bioactive Compounds: An Overview of Their Antioxidant Capacity, Antimicrobial Activity, and Major Applications.
Review in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Many aromatic herbs are conventionally used for flavoring various foods, but receive wide attention because of the variety of health-related properties. The aromatic herbs can be used either fresh or as dried powders and in the form of extracts, essential oils, or purified metabolites. In this review, the main functional properties, in terms of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and the applications of some of the commonly used aromatic herbs from the Lamiaceae family, are discussed. Herbs like oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, summer savory, marjoram, and basil possess high levels of bioactive phytochemicals. They are particularly rich in phenolic acids, flavones, phenolic diterpenes, and flavanones, with various beneficial effects. The phytochemical profile of aromatic plants is highly influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and their interaction. In cases of the extracts and essential oils, the extraction method has a strong effect on the final composition of the herb products. Most of the applications of these aromatic herbs are related to their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and flavoring properties. In particular, aromatic herb extracts and essential oils have multiple applications in fields like food, feed, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, biopesticides, and textile industries.
