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
In this study, the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antiproliferative activities of the methanol and hexane extracts of Olea europaea L. var. europaea were evaluated. Both extracts had broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, with the methanol extract showing the highest inhibition. The largest inhibition zones in the methanol extract were recorded at 500 µg/mL for Candida albicans (28.52 ± 1.34 mm), Streptococcus pyogenes (27.48 ± 0.09 mm), and Escherichia coli (22.09 ± 2.11 mm). Methanol and hexane extracts showed the lowest MIC values against C. albicans. Methanol extract provided higher antimicrobial activity in general, especially lower MIC values against S. pyogenes, E. coli and C. albicans. Strong concentration-dependent scavenging ability was demonstrated by antioxidant tests. The hexane extract demonstrated 37-66% and 54-91% DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, respectively, whereas the methanol extract demonstrated 74-83% and 35-68%. Both extracts decreased the proliferation of colon cancer cell lines in a dose, and time-dependent manner. Cell viability was most significantly reduced by the methanol extract, which reached 9.43% at 200 µg/mL after 72 h in Caco2 cells (p < 0.0001). Hexane extract also inhibited cell proliferation, but to a lesser degree. Phytochemical profiling revealed that both extracts contained different phytochemicals. The most abundant components in the methanol extract included oleuropein, quercetin, and emodin, while quercetin 3-rutinoside, astragalin, and isoquercitrin were detected in the hexane extract. The findings indicate that Olea europaea leaf extracts exhibit antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, as well as antiproliferative activities against cancer cells, suggesting their potential as a significant source of bioactive compounds for future pharmaceutical applications. Additional in vivo and clinical studies are necessary to validate these effects.
