Gastroprotective Effect of Artemisia herba-alba Leaf Extract in Acetic Acid-Induced Gastric Ulceration in Wistar Rats.
Article in Chemistry & biodiversity, 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
Gastric ulcers are common gastrointestinal lesions resulting from oxidative stress and inflammation. Artemisia herba-alba, a medicinal plant with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, was evaluated for its curative effects against acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers in Wistar rats. The aqueous leaf extract was characterized by LC-MS and qualitative screening, and the major compound, quinic acid, was analyzed through in silico ADMET and molecular docking studies. In vitro assays assessed antioxidant activity, while in vivo experiments involved ulcer induction with 3% acetic acid and restraint stress for 8 days. After ulcer induction, rats received either no treatment or the extract (100 or 200 mg/kg) for 3 days. Gastric tissues were analyzed macroscopically, microscopically, and biochemically for oxidative stress markers. The extract showed moderate radical scavenging capacity, and docking results indicated strong binding of quinic acid to key antioxidant enzymes. ADMET predictions revealed favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profiles. Treatment significantly reduced the ulcer area, improved gastric pH, and restored antioxidant enzyme activities in a dose-dependent manner. Histological evaluation confirmed marked mucosal healing, particularly at 200 mg/kg. These findings indicate that Artemisia herba-alba extract accelerates gastric healing through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, supporting its traditional use and therapeutic potential in ulcer management.
