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

This study investigated the combined use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for extracting polyphenols from Cornus officinalis (COF). The results revealed that DESs containing choline chloride-acetamide (ChCl-Ace, 1 : 2) yielded the highest extraction efficiency. Optimal extraction conditions included an ultrasonic power of 350 W, a liquid-to-solid ratio of 24 : 1 mL/g, and 45% water content. Eight phenolic compounds in the COF extract were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. According to the SEM observations, the surface structure of the samples was modified by UAE, as indicated by an average pore size of 770 ± 14.32 nm in ChCl-Ace-UAE, which helped release phenolic compounds. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that ChCl-Ace significantly enhanced solute-solvent interactions, particularly with gallic acid and cyanidin-3-O glucoside, leading to improved extraction efficiency. In vitro chemical and cellular assays confirmed that DES-Ace displayed superior antioxidant properties. In addition, the ChCl-Ace-UAE extract (0.5 mg/mL) demonstrated 91.25 ± 0.15% Staphylococcus aureus, 95.48 ± 0.17% Escherichia coli and 93.72 ± 0.36% Propionibacterium acnes inhibition in the antibacterial assay. In summary, the combined use of UAE and DESs offers a promising and eco-friendly approach for extracting valuable compounds from botanical sources.
