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

Endophytic fungi are mutualistic microorganisms that live within plant tissues without harming the host. They enhance plant health and are valuable sources of bioactive secondary metabolites for medicinal use. This study aimed to identify the endophytic fungi in the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus, collected from different locations in Jharkhand, India. A total of thirty unique fungal isolates were obtained and maintained through continuous subculturing. Among them, Muyocopron dipterocarpi has been selected for further chemical profiling based on its promising bioactive potential. Primary screening of the metabolite was done through alkaloid test and HPTLC analysis. A comprehensive metabolite profiling of the selected isolate has been performed by employing advanced analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry. The GC-MS/MS analyses of extracts from each species identified multiple bioactive compounds, including 1-tetradecene, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol, 1-hexadecanol, ethyl iso-allocholate, digitoxin, and 1-hexacosene. Using LC-HRMS for comprehensive profiling of fungal metabolites, we identified several indole alkaloids from Muyocopron dipterocarpi for the first time, including gelsemicine, ajmaline, brassitin, and geissospermine. Among the metabolites detected, ajmalicine was found to be the predominant monoterpenoid indole alkaloid present in the crude extract. Structural confirmation was established via Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry, which provided evidence of a unique sodium adduct ion at m/z 375.1686, which matches the theoretical mass. Additionally, HPLC quantification of ajmalicine indicates that it is the primary indole alkaloid in the selected groups, with an estimated concentration of 106.1 µg/mL.
