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

Aleuritopteris bicolor (Roxb.) Fraser-Jenk. is used in traditional medicine in Nepal to treat a variety of ailments. This study aimed to investigate qualitative phytochemical screening, quantitative phytochemical analysis (total phenolic and flavonoid content estimation), in vitro antioxidant activity, alpha-amylase inhibitory activity of Aleuritopteris bicolor (Roxb.) Fraser-Jenk. leaves from Nepal. Furthermore, this study examined the analgesic (tail flick and hot plate test method) and anti-inflammatory (carrageenan-induced paw edema) activities of Aleuritopteris bicolor leaves in an acute pain and inflammation rat model. The Aleuritopteris bicolor extract exhibited flavonoid (405.95 ± 0.28 mg QE/g) and phenolic content (20.98 ± 0.20 mg GAE/g). Aleuritopteris bicolor showed free radical scavenging activity with IC50 value in difference antioxidant methods (IC50:9.87 µg/mL, DPPH scavenging assay; 249.59 µg/mL, Hydrogen peroxide; 72.98 µg/mL, Nitric oxide assay), and significant Ferric reducing power assay (0.51 ± 0.004). It increased analgesic activity by 38.89% (hot plate test) and 16.84% (tail-flick test) at 250 mg/kg, reduced inflammation by 36.44% at 180 min (500 mg/kg), and inhibited alpha-amylase activity (IC50:59.31 µg/mL). Aleuritopteris bicolor exhibits significant analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic potential, making it a promising candidate for further pharmacological exploration. This study marks the first scientific study of the in vivo analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects from the leaf extract of Aleuritopteris bicolor till date.
