Proper NADES treatment improved Zanthoxylum bungeanum essential oil yield and boosted α-terpineol antibacterial efficacy.

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
This work evaluated the effects of natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) treatments on the type and amount of Zanthoxylum bungeanum essential oil (EO). The yield of Z. bungeanum EO was improved from 4.67% in an untreated group to 6.42% in the Ch-LA (Choline chloride-Lactic acid) group. Significant difference in the relative content of main components from Z. bungeanum EO was observed among different NADES treatments, especially acid-based NADES treatments, which significantly raised the relative content of α-terpineol. Resultantly, the higher α-terpineol, the stronger the antimicrobial activity of Z. bungeanum EO. As one of the main components of Z. bungeanum EO, α-terpineol inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacterial strains by damaging the structure of cell membranes, disturbing cell physiological functions, and inducing DNA cleavage. In a word, selecting an ideal NADES treatment not only extracted the most EO but also improved the antibacterial activity.
