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

This study provides a comprehensive investigation of the phytochemical composition and biological activity of Calophyllum apetalum leaf extract. Among the solvents examined, ethanol and methanol extracts possess major phytoconstituents, with methanol revealing the higher extractive value (10.45%). Several bioactive substances were found through high-resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HR-LCMS) analysis. The ethanolic extract had higher total phenolic (218.6 ± 4.16 mg gallic acid equivalent [GAE]/g) and flavonoid (256.5 ± 3.13 mg quercetin equivalent [QE]/g) contents, whereas the methanolic extract had higher terpenoid content (144.64 ± 2.03 mg LNE/g). The ethanolic extract had high antioxidant activity, including DPPH scavenging (58.47% ± 0.18%), phosphomolybdate (60.54% ± 0.15%), and metal chelation (64.91% ± 0.54%). The BSA assay demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity (59.07% ± 0.02%). At 100 µg/mL, the ethanolic extract demonstrated antibacterial action against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bioassays using brine shrimp and hemolysis showed moderate toxicity. HeLa (54.38% ± 0.81%) and MCF-7 (51.37% ± 1.22%) cells showed reduced viability in the cytotoxicity assay by ethanolic extract. In silico docking confirmed strong binding affinities of the identified anticancer compounds to target proteins. This work presents novel HR-LCMS profiling and anticancer evaluation of C. apetalum leaf metabolites.
