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

Viral infections constitute one of the major health problems. Since ancient times, propolis has been used due to its bactericidal, antiviral, and antifungal activity. In a previous study, we detected several substances in the ethanolic extract of propolis from Scaptotrigona aff. postica collected in Barra do Corda, showing an intense antiviral action against different viruses. The objective of this study was to characterize the compounds present in aqueous extracts of twelve-monthly collected samples of propolis from Scaptotrigona postica and its respective antiviral effects against the measles virus. Twelve aqueous extracts were analysed using reverse-phase chromatography, coupled with mass spectrometry, to identify 37 elements, being 14 benzophenones, 8 flavonoids, 4 pyrrolizidine alkaloids, caffeoyl-4-O-glucoside, 5-caffeoylquinic acid-1-O-arabinoside, 2-O-galloyl galactaric acid, 1-O- galloylglycerol, homovanillic acid, 5,6-dihydroxyferulic acid, 5- hydroxy ferulic acid, quinic acid, pomolic acid and 11-keto-β-boswellic acid. The determination of the antiviral activity was based on cytopathic effect inhibition. The most significant reduction in viral titer against the measles virus was observed with the extracts obtained in January, May, and June. The benzophenone, 6-hydroxy benzophenone-2-O-(2″),3-C-(1″)-1’-desoxy-fructofuranoside (2); 2, 3’,4,5,6-pentahydroxy-4’- methoxy-benzophenone-3-C-glucoside (32), 5,6-dihydroxy ferulic acid (15) and vicenin-2 (17), are detected in months of January, May and June that exhibited the better antiviral activity.
