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 antibacterial potential of Egyptian Eryngium campestre (E. campestre) was evaluated by investigating the growth inhibition of ethanolic shoot and root crude extracts and their solvent fractions against nine bacterial species, revealing a selective differential effect. Phytochemical screening of crude extracts identified the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, phenols, terpenoids, steroids, and coumarins, suggesting their potential contribution to the observed antibacterial effects. Notably, the ethyl acetate fraction of the shoot and the petroleum ether fraction of the root demonstrated the highest activity, inhibiting the growth of all tested bacteria. Comparative analysis with other ecotypes highlighted variations in their antibacterial potency. These findings position the Egyptian E. campestre ecotype as a promising source for pharmaceutical industry, particularly for developing biocontrol agents against bacterial infectious diseases, including multidrug-resistant strains.
