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

This study explores key biopharmaceutical properties of Cinnamomum camphora essential oil (EO), including antioxidant, anti-enzymatic, and antifungal activities, and evaluates its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against some common phytopathogens. The functional groups of the EO were identified using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The antioxidant capacity, evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ABTS, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods, revealed a moderate activity. The antifungal activity assay showed a complete growth inhibition of Monilinia laxa, Monilinia fructicola, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Botrytis cinerea at a concentration of 10 000 ppm of the tested EO. However, the lowest antifungal activity (17.8%) was observed against Aspergillus niger only at the highest tested concentration. The measured MIC was 7000 ppm for M. laxa and 8000 ppm for C. gloeosporioides. The anti-enzymatic activities of the studied EO demonstrated a low inhibitory effect on cholinesterases (AChE and BChE), but the EO exhibited inhibitory concentration (IC
