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

Hydrosols from Artemisia argyi and A. lavandulifolia collected across different regions and seasons in Shandong Province, China, were comparatively analyzed for chemical composition and antibacterial activity. GC-MS results showed that A. lavandulifolia hydrosol contained higher levels of terpinen-4-ol and α-terpineol and exhibited a chemical profile distinct from A. argyi. Variations in key volatile compounds suggested influences of harvest season and geographic origin. Antibacterial assays against five bacterial strains showed that both hydrosols inhibited Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Proteus vulgaris ATCC 49132, with A. lavandulifolia displaying stronger activity. Multivariate analyses, including HCA, PCA, and heatmaps, further supported species-related differences with partial sample overlap. These findings highlight the compositional and bioactive diversity of Artemisia hydrosols and their potential as natural antimicrobial agents.
