Harnessing the power of cinnamon oil: A review of its potential as natural biopesticide and its implications for food security.
Review in Heliyon, 2025. 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
The escalating concerns about the environmental and health impacts of synthetic pesticides have intensified the search for sustainable and effective alternatives. Cinnamon oil, derived from the bark of Cinnamomum species, has emerged as a promising candidate in this arena due to its potent biopesticidal properties. This review explores the multifaceted role of cinnamon oil in agricultural pest management, emphasizing its potential to contribute significantly to food security. We discuss the bioactive components of cinnamon oil, their modes of action against various pests, and the effectiveness of cinnamon oil formulations. The review also addresses the challenges associated with the consistency and efficacy of cinnamon oil, its regulatory landscape, and the economic considerations for its use on a larger scale. By integrating findings from recent studies, this review underscores the viability of cinnamon oil as a cornerstone in future sustainable agricultural practices, aiming to reduce dependency on chemical pesticides and enhance global food security.
