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
The antioxidant and antifungal activities of (Lavandula stoechas) L. stoechas aqueous extract were studied to examine their potential application against food and crop spoilage. Total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoids (TFC) contents were quantified and individual polyphenols were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In vitro antioxidant assays including DPPH, ABTS, and Galvinoxyl radical scavenging, β-carotene bleaching assay, reducing power, CUPRAC, and phenanthroline were applied. The antifungal effect of the extract was evaluated against the two plant pathogenic fungi Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum using the agar diffusion method. High TPC (197.23 ± 0.12 µg GAE/mg) and TFC (166.93 ± 1.15 µg QE/mg) contents were recorded with the extract. In total, 36 compounds were identified by HPLC, of which 35 are phenolic compounds, with rosmarinic acid (25.2%), p-coumaric acid (7.7%) and luteolin-7-O-glucoside (7.6%) being the representative phenolic compounds. L. stoechas demonstrated strong antioxidant activity in all the methods used. The extract completely inhibited (100% inhibition) the growth of A. niger at a concentration of 5%, while at the same concentration the extract inhibited F. oxysporum with a percentage of 89.62%. These preliminary results suggest the possible use of L. stoechas extract as a potential alternative for preventing plant diseases, reducing post-harvest losses and for food preservation.
