A First Investigation on Verbascum propontideum Murb.: Comparative Biological Properties, Phytochemical Profile and Mineral Composition.
Article in Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands), 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
The current study revealed for the first time various health-related biological properties of different extracts of Verbascum propontideum Murb. Additionally, mineral element analyses were performed. Cell viability was evaluated by the MTT assay. Apoptotic cell death using the Annexin V/PI method and cell cycle analyses were conducted by flow cytometry. To investigate the antioxidant activities, different assays were performed. Quantitative analyses were performed. The phenolic compounds were quantified by HPLC analysis. Except for water extracts, flower extracts with lower IC50 values have a better antiproliferative effect on all cells tested than leaf extracts. Methanol extracts possessed apoptotic and cell cycle arrest potential in HT-29 and Caco-2 human colorectal cancer cells. According to the results of the DPPH, FRAP, and CUPRAC assays, the leaf methanol extract with the highest antioxidant activity was the extract with the highest total phenolic content (29.55 ± 0.66 mgGAE/g extract). The highest total flavonoid (9.19 ± 0.036 mgQE/g extract) and total tannin contents (26.45 ± 0.34 mgCE/g extract) were detected in leaf acetone and flower acetone extracts, respectively. The main phenolic compounds identified for leaf methanol (177.192 µg/g) and flower methanol (3885.940 µg/g) extract were naringin and ferulic acid, respectively. The leaf and flower parts possess mineral elements. V. propontideum may be considered for pharmacological applications as a promising natural source for new anticancer and antioxidant agents.
