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

Mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases are a growing global challenge. Vector control strategies have recently transitioned from chemical insecticides to botanical products. This study evaluated the larvicidal efficacy of dill, lime, and wormwood essential oils (EOs), along with their combinations and nanoemulsions (NEs), against Culex pipiens third-instar larvae over 48 h. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed major components for dill EO (Apiol 25.46%, Carvone 24.13%, and D-Limonene 23.47%), lime EO (D-Limonene 24.16%, α-Terpineol 13.12%, and β-Pinene 11.98%), and wormwood EO (davanone 33.8%, and camphor 25.67%). The TEM image showed spherical NE droplets (40-160 nm). The droplet size and polydispersity index (PDI) were (164 nm and 0.2), (211.6 nm and 0.2), and (160.8 nm and 0.6) for dill, lime, and wormwood NEs, respectively. Based on LC
