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

backgroundParnassia wightiana Wall. (P. wightiana) is a traditional medicinal herb with demonstrated potential for developing eco-friendly botanical insecticides, but its insecticidal properties remain underexplored.

methodsHere, we systematically evaluated the insecticidal activities of different plant tissues through integrated bioactivity assays and metabolomic profiling. Combining bioactivity-guided fractionation with transcriptomic analysis, we identified bioactive insecticidal compounds and elucidated key genes involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis.

resultsBioassays revealed that root extracts exhibited the highest insecticidal efficacy against third-instar Mythimna separata (M. separata) larvae, with a median lethal concentration (LC

conclusionsThese findings advance our understanding of insecticidal metabolite biosynthesis in P. wightiana and provide a foundation for metabolic engineering of insecticidal compounds, and development of novel biopesticides with reduced environmental impact.
