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

Five Strobilanthes species indigenous to the Kumaun Himalayan region of Uttarakhand, India, have been historically employed in traditional medicine to treat bacterial infections, inflammatory conditions, and respiratory ailments, but remain largely unexplored for aquaculture disease management applications. Dichloromethane extracts of S. glutinosa (SGDE), S. pentastemonoides (SPDE), S. angustifrons (SADE), S. attenuata (SATDE) and S. tomentosa (STDE) were comprehensively analysed by GC-MS for phytochemical profiling, with antioxidant activity quantified using DPPH radical scavenging and ferrozine-based metal chelating assays, and antibacterial efficacy evaluated against Aeromonas salmonicida and Edwardsiella tarda using disc diffusion methodology. Pearson correlation analysis, molecular docking, and ADMET computational modelling were performed to elucidate structure-activity relationships and pharmacokinetic properties. GC-MS analysis identified 42-59 phytochemical constituents per species, with sterols and triterpenes constituting the predominant class. STDE demonstrated superior DPPH radical scavenging activity, while SATDE exhibited optimal metal chelating potential. SGDE and STDE displayed the good antibacterial activities against both pathogens. Pearson correlation analysis identified n-tritriacontane and sclareol associated with antimicrobial activity, while molecular docking revealed superior binding affinities for β-amirone to DNA topoisomerase I and β-amyrin. ADMET assessment identified sclareol, stigmasterol, and 24-epicampesterol as optimal candidates with favorable.
