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

The present study evaluated the biological activities and online HPLC-DAD profiles of five extracts of Capparis ovata subsp. canescens prepared with ethyl acetate (EA), dichloromethane (DCM), ethanol, 70% ethanol/water, and water. Online HPLC-DAD with post-column antioxidant detection was used to profile tentatively annotated antioxidant-responsive metabolites at 280, 595, 517, 734, and 450 nm. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, CUPRAC, phosphomolybdenum (PBD), and metal-chelating assays. Eight antioxidant-responsive markers-catechin, cinnamic acid, caffeic acid, γ-tocopherol, apigenin, quercetin-3-O-hexoside, myristoleic acid, and kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside-were tentatively annotated from their chromatographic behavior, UV-DAD characteristics, and post-column antioxidant responses. Ethanol and ethanol/water extracts showed the strongest DPPH (82.35-82.97 mg TE/g), ABTS (93.68-122.00 mg TE/g), FRAP (98.46-116.84 mg TE/g), and CUPRAC (155.43-205.02 mg TE/g) activities. In the PBD assay, EA, ethanol, and DCM showed the highest activities (2.11-2.39 mmol TE/g), with EA displaying the highest numerical value (2.39 ± 0.10 mmol TE/g). These findings support further investigation of C. ovata as a source of antioxidant and enzyme-inhibitory constituents, while structural confirmation and dose-response studies remain necessary.
