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

Salvia species play a significant role in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries due to their rich chemical profiles and notable biological activities. This study aimed, for the first time, to comprehensively investigate the phytochemical profile and antibacterial properties of eight selected Salvia species. Ethanol and water extracts were prepared from the dried aerial parts, and their chemical compositions were analyzed via LC-HRMS. Rosmarinic acid was the major compound in almost all the prepared extracts. Following rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, fumaric acid, salvianolic acid B, and hispidulin-7-O-glucoside were also identified as principal constituents. The antibacterial potential of the relevant metabolites was evaluated in silico, and their receptor binding profiles targeting dihydrofolate reductase and dihydropteroate synthase were elucidated. Additionally, the in vitro antibacterial efficacy of all the extracts was determined against various bacterial strains using a modified microbroth dilution method. Among all tested extracts, both the infusion and decoction of Salvia albimaculata exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Additionally, the ethanol extracts of S. albimaculata, S. viridis, S. verticillata, and S. pilifera demonstrated moderate activity against MRSA. These findings contribute valuable insights into the development of natural-based antibacterial agents for the pharmaceutical and food industries.
