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

Myrciaria floribunda (H. West ex Willd.) O. Berg, a native species of the Myrtaceae family, is traditionally used in folk medicine and is known for its anticholinesterase, antioxidant, and antitumor properties. Despite this, its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro antioxidant and in vivo antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of the hydroethanolic extract from M. floribunda leaves (MfHE). MfHE was prepared and analyzed by HPLC-DAD-MS, revealing 25 compounds, mainly tannins and flavonoids. Quantification showed 403.09 mg GAE/g of total phenolics and 2.94 mg QE/g of flavonoids. Antioxidant potential was evaluated using the DPPH assay (IC₅₀ = 63.24 μg/mL) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC 37.84%). Antinociceptive activity was assessed through acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin, and tail flick tests. MfHE (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reduced writhes by 35.30%, 47.06%, and 66.47%, respectively, inhibited both phases of the formalin test, and increased latency in the tail flick test by 100% at 100 mg/kg. Anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated in carrageenan-induced paw edema and peritonitis models. MfHE reduced paw edema at all doses and lowered total leukocytes (34.57%, 49.39%, 67.91%), neutrophils (28.31%, 52.84%, 60.33%), and pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β (52.46%, 66.84%, 75.85%) and TNF-α (44.75%, 69.05%, 87.26%) in peritonitis test. These findings suggest that MfHE, rich in polyphenols, has promising antioxidant, antinociceptive, and anti-inflammatory properties.
