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

Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the hydroethanolic extract of the bark of Anadenanthera colubrina from northern Peru, as well as its total polyphenol (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents. Materials and methods: Antioxidant activity was evaluated using chemical assays for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH●) radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), as well as by measuring lipid peroxidation (formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) and H2O2-induced hemolysis. Anti-inflammatory activity was determined through heat-induced ovalbumin denaturation and hypotonicity-induced hemolysis assays. Results: The extract showed high antioxidant activity in both the DPPH●radical scavenging assay (747.6 mg Trolox equivalents/gram of dry extract) and the FRAP assay (435.9 mg FeSO4 equivalents/gram of dry extract). The extract (50 to 1000 μg/mL) inhibited lipid peroxidation, H2O2-induced hemolysis, and ovalbumin denaturation. No activity was observed in the hypotonicity-induced hemolysis assay. TPC and TFC were 642.7 mg gallic acid equivalents/gram and 416.2 mg catechin equivalents/gram of dry extract, respectively. Conclusions: These activities were reported for the first time for A. colubrina from northern Peru, suggesting that the hydroethanolic extract of A. colubrina bark possesses significant preliminary in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and that the high polyphenol and flavonoid contents may be responsible, at least partially, for these activities.
