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

Jatropha gossypifolia L., a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, has been traditionally used in the treatment of various ailments. However, its neuropharmacological, cytotoxic, and anthelmintic potentials have not been thoroughly investigated. The methanolic fruit extract of J. gossypifolia (JGF-ME) was evaluated for anxiolytic activity using the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM), Hole Board Test (HBT), and Light-Dark Box Test (LDT); antidepressant activity using the Forced Swimming Test (FST) and Tail Suspension Test (TST); and sedative effects through the Open Field and Hole Cross tests. Cytotoxicity was assessed via the Brine Shrimp Lethality Assay (BSLA), and anthelmintic activity was evaluated against Pheretima posthuma. GC-MS was used for phytochemical screening, followed by molecular docking and ADME/T analyses of the identified compounds. JGF-ME exhibited a significant, dose-dependent anxiolytic effect in EPM, HBT, and LDT. At 400 mg/kg, it significantly reduced immobility in FST and TST (p < 0.001), indicating significant antidepressant activity. The extract also exhibited notable sedative effects, as evidenced by reduced locomotor activity in the Open Field and Hole Cross tests at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg. In BSLA, JGF-ME displayed moderate cytotoxicity (LC
