Phytochemical analysis and effect of the essential oil of Psidium L. species on the initial development and mitotic activity of plants.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2019. 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
The use of allelopathic compounds is an alternative for weeds control, since they present low toxicity when compared with the synthetic herbicides, that may cause several damages, as the contamination of the environment. Our objective was to determine the chemical composition and allelopathic properties of the essential oils of Psidium cattleianum, P. myrtoides, P. friedrichsthalianum, and P. gaudichaudianum on the germination and root growth of Lactuca sativa and Sorghum bicolor, and to evaluate their action on the cell cycle of root meristematic cells of L. sativa. The main compound found in all the studied species was (E)-caryophyllene (P. cattleianum-23.4 %; P. myrtoides-19.3%; P. friedrichsthalianum-24.6% and P. gaudichaudianum-17.0%). The different essential oils were tested at different concentrations on L. sativa and S. bicolor, reducing germination, germination speed index, and root and shoot growth of lettuce and sorghum seedlings. The cytotoxicity and aneugenic potential of these oils were evidenced by the reduction of the mitotic index and increase of the frequency of chromosomal alterations in L. sativa. The essential oils of the species of Psidium studied have potential to be used in weeds control.
