Biochemical description of ozonized propolis and its activity against pathogenic microorganisms, cancer cells, and inflammation with molecular docking interaction.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Numerous experimental investigations conducted on different natural compounds; however, their effectiveness remains insufficient for overcoming the health problems. The effect of ozone on phytochemical characterization of propolis with its biological activities was investigated currently. HPLC showed that ozonized propolis (OP) contains several compounds with high concentrations like hesperetin, rosmarinic acid, coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid compared to non-ozonized propolis (NOP). Inhibition zones, killing kinetic time, MID and MBD indicated the effective role of OP against Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus besides Candida albicans compared to NOP. Low IC50 value (9.91 ± 1.25 μg/mL) was attributed to OP while NOP provide IC50 value 26.05 ± 0.50 μg/mL as antioxidant agent via DPPH. Inhibition of protein denaturation as a marker of anti-inflammatory was recorded for OP with IC50 value of 6.46 ± 0.66 μg/mL compared to the IC50 value of NOP (11.32 ± 1.33 μg/mL). Caco-2 cells line was inhibited with morphological changes by either OP or NOP, however OP reflected excellent IC50 9.9 ± 2.98 μg/mL contrast NOP (IC50 41.43 ± 0.62 μg/mL). Flow cytometric analysis of Caco-2 cells documented the apoptosis caused by propolis particularly NOP. The current study adopts a computational method to investigate the possible antibacterial and anticancer properties of rosmarinic acid and hespertin as main constituents of propolis. Rosmarinic acid and hespertin were docked as ligands against K. pneumonia (PDB ID: 6T77) and Caco2 cells (PDB ID: 1M17) receptors.
