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 native Brazilian fruit, araticum, contains a high amount of phenolics, leading to a strong antioxidant capacity, which makes it a potential source of anticancer agents. This study aimed to use different pre-treatments to improve the efficiency of phenolic extraction and evaluate its bioactive activity. Different pre-treatments, including ultrasound and microwave, were used to increase the extraction yield. Microwave-assisted pre-treatment enhanced both the phenolic yield and antioxidant activity of extracts significantly. Specifically, gallic acid content increased from 131.35 to 156.94 mg/100 g fresh fruit, while the oxygen radical absorbance capacity doubled, rising from 60.1 to 123.2 µmol TE/g fresh fruit. In addition, the colon cancer cell proliferation assay showed that araticum phenolic extracts, especially with microwave-assisted pre-treatment, have strong antiproliferative capability with low IC50 value, ranging from 8.06 µg/mL to 33.52 µg/mL. The possible anticancer targets and inhibition mechanisms have been predicted by PharmMapper and StringDB. The phenolic extract of araticum exhibits strong bioactivities, suggesting its potential as a health-promoting ingredient for chemoprevention.
