In vitro antiviral activities of thymol and Limonin against influenza a viruses and SARS-CoV-2.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Emerging and re-emerging respiratory viruses represent a continuing threat to human health. The pandemic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza A viruses (IAVs) are co-circulating, presenting serious threats to public health. Therefore, screening for safe and broad-spectrum antiviral candidates to control such viral infections is prioritized. Herein, this study reports the in vitro antiviral activity of some essential volatile oils (EOs) and volatile oil components including Peppermint oil, Eucalyptus oil, Clove oil, Thymol, Camphor and Limonin against two different IAVs, namely influenza A/H1N1 and A/H5N1 viruses, and SARS-CoV-2 virus. All tested samples were safe in MDCK and Vero E6 cell lines with CC
