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

Pholiota gallica is a rarely documented macrofungus, and little is known about its chemical composition and biological potential. This study provides an integrated morphological, molecular, and chemical characterization of P. gallica collected from Constantine, Algeria, along with phylogenetic analysis and an in silico evaluation of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Macroscopic observations revealed caps 3-8 cm in diameter, initially viscid, with adnate to slightly emarginate gills and rust-brown spore prints. Molecular analysis based on ITS rDNA confirmed the specimens as P. gallica, forming a well-supported clade with reference strains and clearly separated from closely related species. Chemical profiling showed a predominance of esters and terpenes, with 2,2,4-trimethylpentanediol-1,3-diisobutyrate (31.7%), 3-methylapopinene (19.2%), and 2,9-dimethyldecane (14.5%) as major components. The fatty acid profile was rich in unsaturated acids, particularly linoleic acid (44.8%) and oleic acid (33.1%), known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Molecular docking studies demonstrated strong binding interactions of these compounds with XO, MPO, 5-LOX, COX-2, and iNOS, suggesting their contribution to the bioactivity of P. gallica. These findings provide a solid foundation for future experimental studies and highlight the pharmacological potential of this macrofungus.
