A comprehensive characteristic of Anastatica hierochuntica.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Anastatica hierochuntica (Brassicaceae) is a desert plant used globally to treat various diseases. To advance research on A. hierochuntica, we conducted studies on its morphology, anatomy, physicochemical parameters, and antioxidant properties. Morphological analysis revealed that the whole plant was light yellow with an irregular umbrella shape; the stem, roots, leaves, and fruits each have distinct structural features. Light microscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM) identified numerous vessels, including reticulate and spiral vessels, along with non-glandular hairs, phloem fibers, epidermal cells, starch grains, and wood fibers in A. hierochuntica powders. Microscopic characteristics aid in its identification. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) displayed characteristic peaks at 3337, 2929, 1659 cm⁻¹, indicating the presence of functional groups associated with flavonoids, lignans, polyphenols, and organic acids in the plant. Ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) further supported the FT-IR data, detecting components such as silybin, chlorogenic acid, and neochlorogenic acid. Additionally, the aqueous extract of A. hierochuntica had higher flavonoid content (8.32 ± 0.17 mg/g) and phenol content (52.58 ± 1.24 mg/g). Physicochemical parameters included moisture (5.09 ± 0.17%), total ash (5.95 ± 0.58%), and acid-insoluble ash (0.63 ± 0.06%). Antioxidant activity of different polar extracts was assessed using DPPH, ABTS, and reducing power assays. At a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL, both aqueous and ethanol extracts showed scavenging rates exceeding 80%. These findings provide a comprehensive characterization of A. hierochuntica, aiding in its authentication and identification.
