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

Peanut shells, a by-product of the peanut processing industry, are rich in flavonoid compounds with a range of bioactivities. This study aimed to develop an efficient extraction and fractionation process to enhance the recovery and in vitro antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition activities of these compounds from peanut shells cultivated in Vietnam. Peanut shell samples were subjected to maceration with ethanol, followed by liquid-liquid partitioning (LLP) and column chromatography (CC) using a hexane and ethyl acetate solvent system at varying ratios. This process yielded a crude ethanolic extract (CEE) and its fractions: chloroform (CHF), petroleum ether (PEF), ethyl acetate (EAF), acetone (ACF), and eluted fractions (F1-F4). The developed extraction and fractionation significantly enhanced the total flavonoid content (TFC), from 65.49 mg QE/g in CEE to 759.80 mg QE/g in fraction F2, and quercetin content from 13.46 μg/g (CEE) to 292.38 μg/g (fraction F2). The CEE and its fractions were evaluated for antioxidant activity using a DPPH radical scavenging and AChE inhibitory activity. A strong positive correlation was observed between the TFC and both bioactivities, with activity ranked as follows: F2 > EAF > F3 > F1 > F4 > CHF > PEF > CEE > ACF. Among these samples, fraction F2 demonstrated the highest bioactivities, with IC
