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

Emamectin benzoate (EB) is a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide. However, because EB is easily degraded, the conventional formulations of EB are often overapplied. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA)-based microspheres were prepared using the modified solvent evaporation method for the controlled release of EB. The microspheres were optimized to achieve higher EB loading. The effects of process parameters on the properties of microspheres, including encapsulation efficiency (EE), particle size, and pesticide loading, were investigated. Additionally, the controlled release behavior of EB microspheres was compared with that of conventional EB emulsifiable concentrate (EC). Spherical-shaped microspheres were obtained with an EE reaching 90.63 ± 1.90%, and introducing an external aqueous phase into the system can significantly enhance the EE of microspheres by over 30%. FTIR, DSC, and XRD analyses indicate that the preparation process of PLA microspheres was mainly physical encapsulation and had no chemical effect on EB. Notably, the EB microspheres displayed more potent control efficacy compared to commercial formulation EB EC against
