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

Ultrasound-assisted extraction technology was utilized to extract total flavonoids from Chaenomeles speciosa (Sweet) Nakai, and response surface methodology was employed to optimize the extraction process. The anti-oxidant and lipoxygenase inhibitory activities were evaluated, along with an analysis of the type of inhibition. The results revealed that the optimal extraction conditions for total flavonoids from Chaenomeles speciosa (Sweet) Nakai were as follows: an ethanol concentration of 62%, a liquid-to-solid ratio of 15:1 mL/g, an ultrasonic temperature of 68°C, and an ultrasonic time of 40 min, resulting in a total flavonoid extraction rate of 10.18%. Antioxidant assays demonstrated that the Chaenomeles speciosa (Sweet) Nakai extract exhibited significant radical scavenging activities against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals, 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid ammonium salt) radicals, and hydroxyl radicals, with IC50 values of 582 µg/mL, 538 µg/mL, and 1709 µg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, enzyme inhibition assays indicated that the Chaenomeles speciosa (Sweet) Nakai extract possesses notable inhibitory activity against lipoxygenase, with an IC50 value of 2658 µg/mL. This inhibition is mediated through a mixed reversible inhibition mechanism.
