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

This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and α-glucosidase (AG) inhibitory activities of the ethanolic leaf extract, characterize its phenolic composition, and investigate the interactions of the major identified phytochemicals with the target enzymes through molecular docking analysis. The phenolic profile was determined by LC-MS/MS, antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays, enzyme inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and AG were evaluated in vitro, and molecular docking was performed to examine ligand-enzyme interactions. Among the analyzed compounds, quercetin, myricetin, fumaric acid, vanillic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and salicylic acid were identified as the predominant phenolics in the leaf extract. The extract exhibited DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of approximately 19% and 11%, respectively. It also demonstrated potent enzyme inhibitory activity, with IC
