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 objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of white wormwood on helminthes in beef cattle production. Water extracts of white wormwood of different levels of phytotoxicity were used to treat female adult H. contortus over 8 h under controlled laboratory conditions. The experiment was designed in a completely randomized design with six treatments replicated three times. Treatments 3-6 showed a reduction in worm motility over time (P < 0.05) while it did not change much for T1 and T2 (P < 0.05). Even after 8 h of incubation, more than 50% of the worms were still active in T1, T2 and T3. Meaningful reductions in activity were observed in T4 from 6 to 8 h, T5 form 4-8 h and T6 form 2-6 h. The highest mortality was observed in T4, T5 and T6, 8 h after incubation, however only T6 totally killed all worms 6 h after incubation. Treatments 4 and 5 only achieved 80 and 82% mortality respectively, 8 h post incubation. It is therefore concluded that wormwood aqueous extracts at 5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL have the capability to immobilize, inactivate and kill mature H. contortus worms from beef cattle.
