Control of dengue larvae of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus using the larvicidal bioactive compounds in different plant extracts and plant extract-mediated nanoparticles.
Review in Tropical medicine and health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDengue is a devastating viral disease transmitted by mosquito vectors of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Mosquito populations thrive in favourable breeding conditions, making mosquito control vital. Eliminating larval populations is the most effective method compared with other mosquito control methods. Synthetic chemicals such as organochlorine, organophosphate, carbamate and growth regulators are available for mosquito control, but their use is limited due to health and environmental concerns. Biologically synthesized insecticides are preferable to synthetic insecticides as they are eco-friendly, low cost, target-specific and less toxic for non-target organisms. MAINBODY: Plant-derived bioassays are commonly used to control virally transmitted vectors, as plants contain bioactive compounds such as phytochemicals and essential oils that have high larvicidal efficacy against various mosquito vectors. In addition, nanomaterials are garnering attention in mosquito control due to their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness and safety. Commonly used nanomaterials include metal nanoparticles, such as silver nanoparticles, known for their potent larvicidal effect. Nanomaterials can be biologically synthesized through the combination with plant materials and encapsulation of bioactive compounds to maintain their stability and efficacy.
conclusionVarious plant species and parts, as well as plant-derived nanoparticles, show diverse larvicidal activities against Aedes mosquitos. Among these, plant-mediated nanoparticles demonstrate excellent larvicidal properties against mosquito larvae, including Aedes species.
