Assessing the efficacy of iso-mukaadial acetate and betulinic acid against selected Plasmodium falciparum glycolytic pathway proteins: in silico and in vitro studies.
Article in BMC chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Malaria is the extensive health concern in sub-Saharan Africa, with Plasmodium falciparum being the most lethal strain. The continued emergence of drug-resistant P. falciparum advocates for the development of new antimalarials. Our current study aimed to effectively explore the interaction capabilities of iso-mukaadial acetate (IMA) and betulinic acid (BA) against two essential P. falciparum glycolytic pathway proteins, PfLDH and PfHk. Recombinant PfLDH and PfHk were independently expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells and subsequently purified using affinity chromatography. Protein-ligand interaction studies probed in silico and in vitro approaches. Parasite inhibition studies confirmed potent antimalarial activity against the P. falciparum NF54 strains, with BA and IMA showing IC
