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

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disorder with limited treatment options. This study investigates the chemical composition of Pelargonium graveolens essential oil and explores its potential interaction with GBS-related molecular targets using in-silico tools. Essential oil was analyzed using GC-MS. Identified components were subjected to network pharmacology analysis and molecular docking to assess binding affinities with GBS-relevant proteins, particularly TNF-α. Thirty compounds were identified, with citronellol (26.74%) and geraniol (20.28%) as major components. Comparative phytochemical analysis showed consistency with global P. graveolens chemotypes. Docking results suggest high binding affinity of citronellyl and geranyl derivatives toward TNF-α. These findings support further investigation of P. graveolens oil as a potential modulator of inflammatory pathways in GBS.
