Metabolomic Characterization of 16 Malpighiaceae Species From Brazilian Biomes by UHPLC-MS/MS and PCA.
Article in Chemistry & biodiversity, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Malpighiaceae family comprises approximately 1,500 species distributed across tropical and subtropical regions and is recognized as a source of bioactive secondary metabolites. However, the metabolomic composition of many species remains poorly characterized. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize and compare the metabolomic profiles of 16 Malpighiaceae species collected from four Brazilian biomes (Amazon Rainforest, Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, and Cerrado). Hydroethanolic leaf extracts were analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and chemometric tools. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to investigate metabolomic similarities and differences among species. Fifty metabolites were annotated, mainly flavonoids, anthocyanins, tannins, and phenolic acids, demonstrating the remarkable chemodiversity of the family. Multivariate analysis identified discriminant metabolites, including hexadecanoyl glycerol, quercetin-O-glycoside, epigallocatechin, hydroxyflavanone, isorhamnetin galactoside, ferulic acid, and quercetin-3-O-deoxyhexosyl-pentoside. The results revealed substantial metabolomic variability among species occurring within the same biome and highlighted the phytochemical diversity of Malpighiaceae.
