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

Background: Wild edible plants (WEPs) are vital for food security and traditional medicine, particularly in resource-limited areas. Despite their potential, their use is constrained by a lack of scientific evidence. This study assesses the phytochemical properties and antibacterial activity of chosen WEPs from southwestern Ethiopia. Method: Observational and experimental study designs were utilized to identify and select WEPs through focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and multicriteria decision analysis. WEP samples were collected, dried, powdered, and extracted separately using methanol, ethanol, and acetone solvents. Physicochemical and qualitative phytochemical screenings were evaluated following standardized procedures. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using agar disk diffusion and broth dilution methods against Results: Among 22 medicinally important WEPs, Conclusion: The extracts of
