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

Introduction: Sustainable citrus production requires effective alternatives to synthetic insecticides. Methods: EO was nanoencapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles using ionotropic gelation. Physicochemical characterization assessed encapsulation efficiency, colloidal stability, and particle size distribution. Results: Nanoencapsulation achieved high encapsulation efficiency (97.9%), strong colloidal stability (+45.5 mV), and uniform particle size (173.4 nm; PDI 0.27). Discussion: Nanoencapsulation improved EO stability, photoprotection, and residual activity, enhancing its insecticidal performance compared to conventional formulations. Despite reduced efficacy under environmental stress, the formulation demonstrated promising potential as a plant-based pesticide. These findings support the integration of nanoencapsulated EO into sustainable citrus pest management strategies.
