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

Ziziphus mauritiana Lam., a tropical tree from the Rhamnaceae family, is valued for its nutritional benefits and traditional medicinal uses. This study assessed the antimicrobial activity of different plant parts which are leaves, roots, bark, stems, and fruits, against Escherichia coli and Fusarium solani using methanolic extracts at 1.0 mg/mL. Streptomycin (1.0 mg/mL) and 0.8% methanol served as positive and negative controls, respectively. Plant-derived antimicrobial agents are gaining attention for their bioavailability, safety, and low resistance potential. The methanolic extracts exhibited potent antimicrobial effects, with minimum bactericidal and fungicidal concentrations (MBC/MFC) of 0.8 mg/mL for E. coli and 1.0 mg/mL for F. solani. Leaf extracts showed the strongest inhibition, with zones of 101.47 mm² for E. coli and 88.11 mm² for F. solani, followed by root extracts (86.48 mm² against F. solani). The study supports Z. mauritiana's potential in treating human diseases and underscores the need for sustainable conservation. The results also emphasize the need to conserve this underutilized species for future pharmacological applications.
