Developing a plant based hand sanitizer using antibacterial Apium graveolens leaf extract.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Indigenous medicinal plants, enriched with bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and polyphenolic components, exhibit significant disinfectant, antiseptic, and antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to explore the antibacterial potential of celery leaf (Apium graveolens L.) extract for its application in hand sanitizer formulations. The extraction process was optimized under the following conditions: a solvent-to-sample ratio of 50:1, 80% solvent concentration, an extraction temperature of 80 °C, and an extraction time of 1 h. Under these optimized conditions, the total phenolic content was determined to be 62.70 mg GAE/g, with an antimicrobial activity of 11.02 mm. The study further investigated the antibacterial efficacy of various concentrations of celery leaf extract (10%, 25%, 50%, and 75%). The highest inhibition zone of 12.83 ± 0.29 mm was observed at 75% concentration, followed by 10.68 ± 0.32 mm at 50% and 7.5 ± 0.50 mm at 25%. These findings highlight the potential of celery leaf extract as a natural and effective ingredient in antimicrobial formulations, particularly for hand sanitizers.
