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

The genus Croton, a member of the Euphorbiaceae family, comprises nearly 1300 species globally, predominantly inhabiting tropical and subtropical regions. Certain species of Croton are renowned for their significant medicinal properties. Diterpenoids, as the principal bioactive constituents of this genus, exhibit a diverse array of biological activities. From 2013 to 2025, a total of 545 newly identified diterpenoids featuring 34 distinct skeletal types, predominantly labdane, clerodane, tigliane, and crotofolane structures, were isolated from 45 Croton species, including several novel frameworks. According to available literature, Croton diterpenoids demonstrate notable anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties, with clerodane and tigliane variants showing particularly promising results. Additionally, antimicrobial, anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic, neuroprotective, insecticidal, and anti-liver fibrotic activities have been reported for various Croton diterpenoids. This review consolidates information on the distribution, chemical structures, potential biosynthetic pathways and biological activities of diterpenoids isolated from Croton species during the specified period.
