Bioactivity and safety evaluations of Cupressus sempervirens essential oil, its nanoemulsion and main terpenes against Culex quinquefasciatus Say.

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 essential oil (EO) of Cupressus sempervirens was obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Two monoterpenes, α-pinene (49.1%) and δ-3-carene (21.4%), and one sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, α-cedrol (5.1%), were isolated as the EO major terpenes. An oil-in-water nanoemulsion (particle size 71.2 nm) was produced from the EO through a low-energy method. The EO, its nanoemulsion and its main constituents showed mosquitocidal and biochemical effects against Culex quinquefasciatus Say, the common vector of lymphatic filariasis parasites. All treatments showed dose-dependent bioactivity, and adults were more susceptible to the EO products than the larvae. The nanoemulsion showed superior activity, followed by the crude EO and α-cedrol. At 40 μg/ml, the nanoemulsion caused 100% larval mortality, while the EO and α-cedrol required twice this concentration to achieve the same larval mortality. The LC
