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

The ester of caffeic acid with α-hydroxydihydrocaffeic acid, named rosmarinic acid (α-o-caffeoyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenyllactic acid; RA) can occur as oligomeric molecules, or in free, esterified, and glycosidic forms. Although it is commonly found among the members of the plants from the Lamiaceae (mints) and Boraginaceae (borages) families, only certain plant species produce a comparatively high concentration of RA. This valuable bioactive compound exhibits anti-cancer, anti-angiogenic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties, among others. As it is difficult to obtain high quantities of RA from natural sources, and since chemical manufacturing is costly and challenging, various biotechnological methods have recently been investigated to boost RA production. Plant cell tissue culture has been used to promote RA production in various plant species, particularly medicinal ones, with elicitation being the most commonly used technique. This review explores the main steps involved in RA biosynthesis in plants, including the molecular mechanisms and physiological alterations underlying its function, along with the primary mechanisms of RA accumulation in response to elicitation. Recent progress in synthetic biology-based RA synthesis, as well as metabolic engineering techniques to enhance the industrial production of this valuable bioactive constituent, are also discussed.
