Antioxidant Activities of Pentacyclic Triterpenes From Melipona beecheii Propolis and Their Semisynthetic Derivatives.
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
Four principal fractions (I-IV) were obtained from the Melipona beecheii propolis. GC-MS analysis of these fractions allowed us to recognize 11 pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs), fraction I [β-amyrin acetate (1), germanicol acetate (2), moretenol acetate (3) and 24-methylencycloartan-3-ol acetate (4)]; fraction II [marsformosanone (5), β-amyrenone (6), germanicone (7) and lupenone (8)]; fraction III [β-amyrin (9) and, glutinol (10)]; and fraction IV [9 and α-amyrin (11)]. This is the first time that triterpenes 7 and 10 are reported in the propolis of M. beecheii. Three semisynthetic derivatives were prepared: the reduction of fraction II and the acetylation and oxidation of fraction IV. The ethanolic extract of propolis and fraction III presented the highest free DPPH radical scavenging capacity at 53.89 ± 8.39% and 47.77 ± 0.91%, respectively, using a concentration of 10 mg/mL. In contrast, the reducing power of Fe (III) analysis showed a strong reducing power of Fe(III) for all fractions and their derivatives with an EC
