Bioactivity of Ethanolic Extract of Borassus flabellifer Sprout Peel and Its Phytochemical Analysis: An In vitro Study.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
abstractPalmyra palm sprout skin was extracted using ethanol to test its antibacterial activity against isolated urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogenic bacteria. The extract demonstrated excellent inhibitory activity at the concentration of 500 µl/well. It was observed that all the isolated UTI-causing bacteria were highly resistant to selected commercially available antibiotics. The ethanol extract of the palmyra palm sprout skin showed excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antiproliferative activities. Before boiling the Panam kilangu, the sprout skin is usually peeled from it and thrown away as it is considered of no use. However, our study demonstrates a waste-to-wealth based alternative use for the palmyra palm sprout skin. Based on studies, these by-products could be used as a source of valuable bioactive compounds. It showed excellent inhibitory activity at the concentration of 500 µg/well against UTI bacteria. It also showed to possess various secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, saponins, etc. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer analysis revealed the presence of various bioactive metabolites.
