Agro-morphological and phytochemical diversity among Alcea Kurdica populations using multivariate analyses.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Native to eastern Iraq and western Iran, Alcea kurdica is a highly polymorphic species with a variety of bioactivities, such as immunomodulatory, enzyme-regulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Its rich phytochemical profile, which includes flavonoids, phenolic compounds, coumarins, triterpenoids, alkaloids, acidic polysaccharides (like pectins and mucilage), scopoletin, asparagine, tannins, steroidal constituents, proteins, and vital mineral elements, is largely responsible for these qualities. In order to find desirable features for upcoming breeding initiatives and therapeutic uses, the morphological and phytochemical diversity of seven A. kurdica populations was assessed in this work. Total anthocyanin (101.5%), flower dry weight (98.48%), and flower count per plant (88.83%) had the largest coefficient of variance. Out of all the populations under study, AKP2 had the highest bloom dry weight, weighing 16.71 g per plant, while AKP5 had the lowest, weighing 12.79 g per plant. AKP5 and AKP2 populations had the highest levels of mucilage content (23.92% and 15.86%, respectively). From 5.16 mg C3G/g dry weight in AKP3 to 49.68 mg C3G/g dry weight in AKP5, anthocyanin accumulation showed significant variance. Also, the AKP5 population had the highest TPC (23.66 mg GAE/g dry weight), while the AKP2 population had the highest TFC (14.45 mg RE/g dry weight). AKP2 and AKP6 had the highest and lowest total carbohydrate contents, respectively, ranging from 33.64 to 57.41%. The main phenolic chemicals found were apigenin, kaempferol, rutin, and chlorogenic acid. The extraordinary diversity in terms of the studied parameters indicates the ability of different A. kurdica population to be selected and used in breeding, cultivation, and production programs.
