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

This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical profile and evaluate the in vitro and in silico insecticidal activities of methanolic extracts from two halophytes, Atriplex halimus (A. halimus) and Suaeda fruticosa (S. fruticosa). The investigations included phytochemical screening, determination of total phenolic, flavonoid, and tannin contents, as well as compound identification by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS). The insecticidal activity was assessed through direct-contact bioassays against adults of Tribolium confusum. In addition, a molecular docking study was performed targeting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE). Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of several bioactive compounds in both plant extracts. A. halimus showed the highest flavonoid content, whereas S. fruticosa exhibited the highest levels of total phenolics and tannins, corresponding to superior insecticidal effect, as evidenced by its lower lethal concentration 50% (LC
