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

Natural products derived from medicinal plants represent an important source of bioactive compounds with potential therapeutic applications in the management of pain and inflammatory disorders. In this study, the chemical profile and pharmacological activities of the aqueous extract obtained from the fruit peel of Myrciaria floribunda (AeMf) were investigated. Chemical characterization was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MSⁿ). The antinociceptive activity of AeMf was evaluated in mice using acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing, formalin, and tail immersion tests, while the anti-inflammatory potential was assessed through carrageenan-induced paw edema and peritonitis models. Chromatographic analysis revealed a chemical profile predominantly composed of organic acids and related metabolites, including quinic acid, citrate, maleate, and a fatty acid hexoside. In nociceptive models, AeMf produced a significant and dose-dependent reduction in acetic acid-induced writhing and markedly decreased paw-licking behavior in both phases of the formalin test. In addition, the extract increased tail withdrawal latency in the thermal nociception assay, indicating the involvement of both peripheral and central analgesic mechanisms. In inflammatory models, AeMf significantly inhibited carrageenan-induced paw edema, reduced leukocyte and neutrophil migration to the peritoneal cavity, and markedly suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-1β. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that AeMf exerts potent antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects, likely mediated through the modulation of inflammatory mediators and cellular recruitment. The results highlight the therapeutic potential of Myrciaria floribunda as a promising natural source of bioactive compounds for the development of novel strategies for pain and inflammation management.
