Phenotypic yield-attributed traits and phytochemical composition of the flowers from Alcea species in Iran.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The genus Alcea is an herbaceous, annual and perennial plant of the Malvaceae family, which is rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, coumarins, triterpenes, alkaloids, polysaccharides (mucilage), pectins, scopoletin, asparagine, tannins, steroids, proteins and minerals. The genus Alcea has various biological properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-estrogenic, enzyme inhibitory and immunomodulatory effects. In this study, agro-morphological, phytochemical and proximate composition variability among six Iranian species of the plant was studied to find adequate samples for further use in breeding and exploitation programs. For this purpose, we evaluated six species of the genus Alcea in terms of functional traits, phenolic compounds, anthocyanin content, mucilage, minerals, and proximate compositions, including A. kurdica, A. tehranica, A. koelzii, A. lavateriflora, A. rechingeri, A. xanthochlora. The highest coefficient of variation was obtained for rutin, chlorogenic acid, antioxidant activity, flower dry weight. A. rechingeri species indicated the maximum (1220 g/plant) and A. xanthochlora species revealed the minimum (200 g/plant) dry flower weight. The species A. lavateriflora (32.91%), A. tehranica (23.11%), and A. rechingeri (16.40%) had the highest mucilage content. The anthocyanin content in different species varied from 11.47 (in A. koelzii) to 30.39 (in A. tehranica) mg C3G/g DW. Maximum content of total phenol (48.42 mg GAE/g DW), total flavonoid (34.32 mg RE/g DW), and antioxidant activity, were observed in A. tehranica species. Chlorogenic acid, rutin, kaempferol, and apigenin were detected as the major phenolic compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The analyzed species exhibited variations in carbohydrate (42.44 to 58.62 g/100 DW), fat (1.30 to 2.53 g/100 DW), protein (6.06 to 11.30 g/100 DW), and fiber (13.34 to 28.64 g/100 DW) contents. The extraordinary diversity in terms of the studied parameters indicates the ability of different Alcea species to be selected and used in breeding, cultivation, and production programs.
