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

The development of new, more selective, environmental-friendly insecticide alternatives is in high demand for the control of Spodoptera frugiperda (S. frugiperda). The major objective of this work was to search for new potential S. frugiperda acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. A ligand-based virtual screening was initially carried out considering six scaffolds derived from eugenol and the ZINC15, PubChem, and MolPort databases. Subsequently, molecular docking analysis of the selected compounds on the active site and a second region (determined by blind molecular docking) of the AChE of S. frugiperda was performed. Molecular dynamics and Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area analyses were also applied to improve the docking results. Finally, three new eugenol analogs were evaluated in vitro against S. frugiperda larvae. The virtual screening identified 1609 compounds from the chemical libraries. Control compounds were selected from the interaction fingerprint by molecular docking. Only three new eugenol analogs (1, 3, and 4) were stable at 50 ns by molecular dynamics. Compounds 1 and 4 had the best biological activity by diet (LC
