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

This study evaluates the antimicrobial properties of Juniperus phoenicea L. against multidrug-resistant microbes, highlighting potential synergistic effects of combining the J. phoenicea L. newly synthesized nanoparticles with conventional antibiotics and anticancer agents. Juniperus phoenicea L. ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts were prepared. Antibacterial activity against a panel of multidrug-resistant microbes showed the ethanolic extract as superior to the ethyl acetate extract, with Acinetobacter baumannii being the most susceptible organism (minimum inhibitory MIC = 12.5 µg/mL). Phytochemical profiling of the ethanolic extract revealed predominant components, namely: Apigenin-7-glucoside, α-pinene, and Cedrol. Network pharmacology-based analysis suggested the potent effect of these compounds as anticancer and antibacterial agents. J. phoenicea L. nanoparticles were synthesized by a combined hot-melt dispersion and homogenization approach. Characterization yielded a zeta vesicle size of 98.6 nm, PDI 0.23, zeta potential + 48.5 mV, EE% 92.4%, and TEM size 76.2 nm. The nanoparticles markedly enhanced antibacterial activity (MIC = 6.25 µg/mL) with complete eradication of A. baumannii after 16 h. The combination with Amoxicillin and Cefoxitin showed synergistic effects. In anticancer assays, nanoparticles outperformed Fluorouracil, with IC
