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
This study investigates the effects of various solvents on the phytochemical composition, in-vitro antimicrobial activity, and volatile constituents of Boehmeria rugulosa Wedd. wood extract. Phytochemical screening revealed significant variations in the concentration of bioactive compounds depending on the extraction solvent. Methanolic, ethanolic, and aqueous extracts exhibited distinct profiles of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, and tannins, with notable differences in their respective bioactive contents. Among the tested solvents, 70% aqueous ethanol yielded the highest extract recovery, containing total phenols (229.3 mg GAE/g) and total flavonoids (67.13 mg QE/g). Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) identified 14 volatile compounds, including terpenoids, aldehydes, ketones, and phenolic derivatives, with clear solvent-dependent variations. In-vitro antimicrobial assays indicated that the ethanolic extract exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity, while the aqueous extract showed moderate antifungal activity. The 70% aqueous ethanol extract demonstrated significant antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 12,600 (18.45 mm), Bacillus cereus ATCC 6633 (15.88 mm), and Escherichia coli ATCC 1041 (12.35 mm). These findings highlight the critical role of solvent polarity in optimizing the extraction of bioactive and antimicrobial compounds from B. rugulosa wood, with implications for the development of plant-based therapeutic agents and natural preservative systems.
