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
contextThis study reports the isolation and structural characterization of ravenelin (RVL) and ravenelin B (RVL B), a novel xanthone derivative produced by the endophytic fungus Exserohilum rostratum from the Brazilian Amazon. The compound was obtained in minute quantities with partial purity, presenting significant challenges for traditional structural characterization. Through the combined application of NMR spectroscopy (1D/2D) and DFT/GIAO calculations, we achieved unequivocal structural determination, demonstrating an effective strategy for investigating scarce natural products. Extensive computational analysis revealed key insights into the molecular properties: RVL B exhibits a predominantly locally excited character (61%) compared to RVL's mixed charge-transfer/locally excited nature and shows promising two-photon absorption (TPA) properties with a high cross-section (351 GM in water) for higher excited states. Further TD-DFT calculations elucidated the solvent-dependent photophysical behavior, including absorption/emission spectra and Stokes shifts. These findings not only expand the chemical diversity of Amazonian endophytes but also establish a comprehensive framework for characterizing low-abundance metabolites using integrated experimental and theoretical approaches, while revealing potential applications as substituent design in nonlinear optics and photodynamic therapy. METHODOLOGY: This work discusses the procedure for the isolation, characterization, and theoretical insights into the electronic properties of a novel xanthone isolated from an Amazonian fungus. High-resolution mass spectra were obtained in positive ion mode using a MicroTOF-Q mass spectrometer (Bruker Daltonics, USA) equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Ascend 400 using the solvent signal (d-chloroform) as a reference. Chemical shifts are given in delta (
