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 explores the remarkable dual antiviral potential of Pelargonium graveolens, an edible aromatic plant widely valued in traditional medicine and culinary applications. The ethanol extract from P. graveolens leaves and its ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated significant inhibitory efficacy against both Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV-2) and Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB-3), with notable selectivity index of 134 and 83, respectively. Mechanistic investigations revealed distinct modes of action: the ethanol extract primarily targets viral entry processes and exhibits direct virucidal effects against HSV-2, whereas the ethyl acetate fraction specifically inhibits CVB-3 post-infection. Bioassay-guided fractionation and purification using TLC and HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS
