Tissue-specific partitioning of flavonoids and phenolic acids coordinates bioactivities in Ormosia henryi Prain.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
The accumulation patterns of bioactive compounds in Ormosia henryi Prain, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, remain poorly understood, limiting its potential for development. In this study, LC-MS/MS-based untargeted metabolomics was used to profile metabolic patterns across six tissues: new leaves (NL), old leaves (OL), stem bark (SB), stem xylem (SX), root bark (RB), and root xylem (RX). Multivariate analyses (PCA, OPLS-DA) identified key differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs), including 34 phenolic compounds: 29 flavonoids and 5 phenolic acids. The total flavonoid content (TFC) was highest in the old leaves, while the total phenolic content (TPC) peaked in the root bark. Tissue extracts demonstrated strong antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities, with the old leaves showing the most significant bioactivity. Integrated correlation analysis further revealed significant relationships between TFC/TPC, core metabolites, and biological activities, highlighting potential biomarkers for functional evaluation. This study reveals the tissue-specific accumulation of bioactive phenolics in O. henryi Prain, providing valuable insights for the development of natural antioxidants, hypoglycemic drugs, and functional foods.
