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

This research investigates the bioactive properties of essential oils obtained from three medicinal and aromatic species: Mentha canadensis, Corymbia citriodora, and Plectranthus amboinicus. The essential oils were evaluated for antiviral, antioxidant, anticancer, and antidiabetic activities. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) examination identified a variety of phytochemical constituents, including thymol, citronellol, and levomenthol. Cytopathic impact studies indicated that M. canadensis and C. citriodora oils attained a maximum of 35.34% suppression of Adeno 7 virus replication. The oils exhibited minimal cytotoxicity in Vero cells, with viability exceeding 97% at concentrations of ≤ 312 µg/mL. P. amboinicus oil had the highest cytotoxicity against H1299 lung cancer cells (IC
