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
The antioxidant concentration and the redox potential of the oxidizing system employed in antioxidant assays are critical parameters governing the classification of antioxidant reducing power. In this study, we introduce the Superoxide Radical Anion Generated Electrochemically (SRAGE) assay, a novel electrochemical method for evaluating the antioxidant activity of natural compounds. Superoxide is the primary reactive oxygen species generated during the one-electron reduction of molecular oxygen in mitochondria, making it a biologically relevant probe for antioxidant evaluation and a distinct advantage over conventional 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) discoloration methods.In the SRAGE assay, [Formula: see text]is generated in situ by electrochemical reduction and subsequently scavenged by natural antioxidants, including rutin, ascorbic acid, quercetin, and gallic acid. The controlled generation of superoxide was achieved using cyclic voltammetry and was validated experimentally. At a concentration of 1mmol L- 1, the tested antioxidants exhibited inhibitory activities of 44.30 ± 1.31%, 52.01 ± 0.95%, 78.73 ± 2.02%, and 100.0 ± 0.12%, respectively. The ranking of antioxidant reducing power obtained from the SRAGE assay is in close agreement with that derived from the DPPH method. The proposed SRAGE assay offers a versatile electrochemical platform for evaluating the antioxidant activity of pure compounds and complex systems, including synthetic formulations, biological extracts, pharmaceutical products, and food additives.
