What a meaningless graph. "Moderate Increase", lol. 
Look at those confidence intervals. Even at first glance, without checking it's source - I can guarantee you it's complete garbage. 
 

Let me check....

Yep, I was right:  This is a lightly photoshopped version of the "Memory Chart" from a study that used self-reported data from the r/nootropics subreddit. https://darktka.github.io/ - and that survey wasnt event about IQ.

Thank god someone edited "Source: Israel institute of medical Science" into it - so it comes across as more believeable to clueless readers on social media.

Actually, They are very moderate in their description of the effects of each substance. I read a lot of Reddit posts about nootropics and I would say this graph is pretty accurate. Also, Wide intervals reflect the biological differences between humans in their response to a certain substance.

This is most likely based on anecdotal data provided by users on the web, So one shouldn't expect more objective terms.

They say phenylpiracetam is the holy grail of nootropics. Some say Noopept is great after a couple of weeks of use.

Magnesium is great for waking up refreshed after sleep. Lion's Mane has such a nasty effect on motivation that I had to stop taking it after 2 weeks. Ashwagandha is a good relaxant and mood enhancer but it makes you numb and lazy. Mucana Purines produces a rapid and short (2-3h) energy boost. Bupropion is Great for energy and motivation and definitely should have been included here.

The best nootropic is still mindfulness. Being mindful makes the mind super sharp and relaxed at the same time.

Nothing about that graph is either accurate, scientific or in any sense useful! 
Those confidence intervals also do net reflect biological differences - it's an common artefact of survey studies.

Based on what? The sample is not provided to make this assumption.

You don't need to treat this in a scientific manner, it just gives a general idea about the effect of different substances on people.

Based on a decade of understanding interpreting data 
I on my phone right now - so forgive me for not going to detail - but trust me it's nonsense! 

I might reply later with a more detailed analysis

I am not taking it seriously 😆

I am sure some dude on Reddit just made this graph based people's reports.

I haven't noticed any good or bad effects from CBD oil, it literally does nothing to me.

A bit of THC with that CBD goes a long way.

Be honest, you just wanna get high

I think that you won't notice a difference with a lot of these nootropics, like Magenisum here, I'd be surprised If someone could actually tell the difference with or without it. 

Phenibut is noticeable at high doses, 2.2 grams and up, and highly beneficial for sleep, If I could take it every night I would, just for sleep. Aniracetam and Alpha GPC are a nice socialization boost, and St. john's wort is a nice mild relaxant, 300mg phenylpiracetam is ok I'm on it right now, feels like a pre-workout.
