Chemical and Biological Properties of Hymenaea courbaril L.: A Review.
Review in Chemistry & biodiversity, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Hymenaea courbaril L., commonly known as jatobá, is a plant traditionally used by native populations for medicinal purposes, in addition to providing edible fruits and durable wood for construction. In Brazilian traditional medicine, products from this species are employed to treat wounds, inflammations, bacterial infections, rheumatism, anemia, respiratory and gastric disorders, bronchitis, and prostate conditions. This review aimed to summarize the phytochemical composition and biological activities of H. courbaril L., establishing a foundation for future studies. The species is rich in bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, terpenes, phenols, and coumarins present in its leaves, fruits, bark, and resin. Scientifically validated bioactivities include antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, muscle-relaxant, and antiproliferative effects. Low acute toxicity has been demonstrated in in vivo assays. Despite these promising results, gaps remain regarding its chemical characterization, medicinal, and nutraceutical potential. This review highlights the need for further research to validate traditional uses, ensure safe applications, and explore new therapeutic prospects.
