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

Pesticides, including insecticides, are indispensable for large-scale agriculture. Modulating chloride ion channels has proven highly successful as a mode of action (MoA) for insect management. Identifying new ligands for these channels affords opportunities for the potential development of new insecticide products. We discovered an unexpected behavioral response in larval zebrafish exposed to endosulfan, a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channel modulator. At low concentrations, endosulfan increased zebrafish motor activity under strobing blue or green light stimuli. Using this distinct behavioral phenotype as a proxy for similar modes of action, we screened over 9,000 compounds and identified several structurally diverse hits that phenocopied endosulfan's effects
