Unveiling the anti-inflammatory wound healing potential of Ocimum canum extract and its phytochemicals via bioassay-guided isolation, fractionation, and computational studies.

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
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process that involves the coordinated efforts of various cellular and molecular mechanisms. Chronic wounds of various etiologies, such as diabetic ulcers and pressure sores, pose significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide due to their recalcitrant nature and associated complications. Wound healing is a complex physiological process, crucial for tissue repair and regeneration. Recently, plant-derived drugs have gained considerable attention due to their potential therapeutic applications in wound healing. In this study, we have evaluated the wound-healing properties of Ocimum canum (OC-12) extract in in-vitro and in-vivo models. Initially, we used bio-assay-guided isolation approach to identify phytochemicals present in the OC-12 extract. This leads us to isolate nine compounds for the first time from this plant. The extract's efficacy in promoting wound closure and cell migration was evaluated using in-vitro scratch assays in fibroblast cell lines. In LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, the extract at a concentration of 50 µg/ml reduced the pro-inflammatory cytokines i.e. IL-6 and TNF-α levels, by 27% and 37% respectively. At the concentration of 20µM, the isolated compounds BS, ND, and SL showed the 30%, 21%, and 23% inhibition of IL-6, respectively. Subsequently, BS, ND, and SL inhibited TNF-α production by 37%, 42% and 39%, respectively. The extract also possesses antioxidant potential, with a 51.7 µg/mL EC
