Acaricidal activity of Brassicaceae seed meals on Ixodid ticks: a potential plant-based control agent.
Article in Experimental & applied acarology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ticks are a medically important group of arthropods, and their control has become a major challenge due to their widespread resistance to synthetic acaricides. Defatted seed meals of plants in the mustard family, commonly generated as byproducts of vegetable oil and biofuel production are known to possess pesticidal properties but their potential to control ticks remain poorly understood. We evaluated the bio-fumigation activity of defatted seed meals of three mustard family species, Brassica juncea (L) Czern. (PG), Lepidium sativum L. (Ls) and Thlaspi arvense L. (DFP), against three medically important hard tick species: Ambylomma americanum (L.) [Aa], Dermacentor variabilis (Say) [Dv] and Ixodes scapularis (Say) [Is]. Volatiles produced by defatted seed meals of the three plant species had strong bio-fumigation activity against ticks, but their effects varied among the three tick species. Toxicity of DFP seed meals was significantly different among the three tick species (no overlap of the 95% CI) with LD
