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

Synthetic dyes and mordants have detrimental effects on the environment, prompting investigations into alternative methods and sources for extracting natural dyes and mordants. This study investigated the phytochemical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of extracts from Rosa indica, Bougainvillea glabra, and Tagetes erecta. The extracts were analyzed via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to identify bioactive compounds. Spectrophotometric analysis was used to determine the total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). Antioxidant activity was evaluated via the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The results revealed that R. indica presented the highest TPC, whereas B. glabra presented the highest TFC. Additionally, the potential use of these extracts as natural dyes was investigated, including their colorfastness properties. The natural dyes were applied to cotton fabrics via different mordants, and their color strength and fastness were evaluated. The results revealed that B. glabra presented the best colorfastness properties. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was also evaluated against E. coli and B. subtilis. The results showed that B. glabra had the strongest antimicrobial activity. By combining the biological activity, dyeing potential, and phytochemical profile of B. glabra, R. indica, and T. erecta, this work fills this gap. By integrating phytochemical profiling, dyeing performance, and biological activity evaluation, this study provides a comprehensive framework for the dual use of floral extracts in sustainable textile and pharmaceutical applications.
