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

Endophytic fungi are prolific sources of structurally diverse secondary metabolites with significant agricultural and pharmacological potential. In the present study, bioactive compounds isolated from endophytic fungi (Curvularia tsudae (Ct), Aspergillus chevalieri (ARI 27), Aspergillus stellates (ARI 22), and Hypoxylon sp. (ARI 06) harbored in Cynodon dactylon were analyzed using GC-MS/LC-MS and subjected to computational prediction and molecular docking studies. A total of 26 major metabolites, including phenolics, lactones, alkaloids, coumarins, anthraquinones, and fatty acids, were characterized and evaluated for their drug-likeness, biological activity scores, and binding affinities using chemoinformatic and docking tools. Most compounds adhered to Lipinski's Rule of Five, with favorable logP values and topological polar surface areas indicating good bioavailability. Notably, curvularin, dextramycin, esculetin, and 1,4-dibutyl benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate showed strong docking affinities (- 6.6 to - 9.1 kcal/mol) toward antibacterial and antioxidant targets such as D-alanine-D-alanine ligase, lipoxygenase, 1-heptacosanol and myeloperoxidase. Molecular dynamics simulation was confirmed by normal mode analysis, in which the interactions of the top three protein-ligand pairs were found to be stable, with low eigenvalues of 5.4 × 10
