Metabolites profiling of Mimusops caffra leaf via multiplex GC-MS and UPLC-MS/MS approaches in relation to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Mimusops caffra is a small to medium-sized fruit-producing tree belonging to the Sapotaceae family with potential commercial, medicinal, and nutritional value. The main goal of the current study is to profile the phytochemical composition of M. caffra leaf targeting both volatile and non-volatile metabolites using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultrahigh performance liquid chromatograpy coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), respectively. A total of 62 secondary metabolites were annotated via UPLC-MS/MS belonging to organic acids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, triterpenes, fatty acids and their derivatives, and sphingolipids. Moreover, 50 volatile compounds were detected by using GC-MS classified as monoterpene, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, fatty acids/esters, and triterpenes. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the crude methanol extract, ethyl acetate, n-butanol fractions were evaluated using DPPH radical scavenging capacity and nitric oxide inhibition activity, respectively. The crude methanol extract exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity as compared to ethyl acetate, n-butanol fractions and ascorbic acid (used as a reference antioxidant). The IC
