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

Extraction methods critically influence the phytochemical profile and bioactivity of natural product mixtures, affecting their efficacy as therapeutic agents. This review assesses the impact of various extraction techniques-such as solvent-based extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, and enzymatic extraction-on the composition of bioactive compounds in plant extracts. We discuss how extraction parameters modify the bioactivity profiles, influencing their application in pharmaceutics and nutrition. This review critically analyzes these techniques with a special focus on integrated (hybrid) strategies, revealing that while advanced methods like ultrasound-assisted extraction and microwave-assisted extraction offer improved efficiency, the greatest potential lies in the synergistic combination of methods to maximize yield and preserve bioactivity. The insights gathered here aim to guide researchers in developing optimal and sustainable extraction protocols for therapeutic applications.
