Integrative taxonomic and phytopharmacological analysis of ethnobotanical Acanthaceae species from Manipur, India.
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
Nongmangkha is one of the several medicinal plants traditionally used by the Meitei community of Manipur, India, for treating respiratory and infectious diseases. However, taxonomic confusion exists among three commonly used species- Phlogacanthus thyrsiformis (Roxb. ex Hardw.) Mabb, Phlogacanthus pubinervius T. Anderson, and Justicia adhatoda L.-limiting their safe and effective utilization. Three chloroplast gene- rbcl, rpoC1 and trnH-psbA were used as DNA barcodes to identify the plants then, the sequences obtained were used for secondary structure prediction in RNAfold web server to discriminate among the three plants. The HPTLC revealed chemical fingerprints of the studied species which helped in taxonomic authentication of plants, while GC-MS and FTIR analysis of the extracts showed presence of several bioactive compounds and functional groups of the compounds respectively. Elemental analysis using XRF detected 19 elements in P. pubinervius indicating higher chemical diversity, while J. adhatoda and P. thyrsiformis contained 15 elements each. The plant extracts examined demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Fusarium oxysporum. To further explore their potential, molecular docking studies were carried out using the key bioactive compounds, which revealed promising interactions with Metallo-β-lactamase-suggesting their potential as effective antimicrobial agents. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to provide comparative insights into the three studied samples at anatomical, chemical, and molecular levels, paving the way toward accurate identification.
