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 chemical analysis of the melliferous plant Viguiera dentata (Asteraceae) yielded cycloartanes 1-9 (including the new compounds 7-9), ent-kaurenes (10-15), diversifolin (16) and other constituents. The structure of 9 was confirmed by X-ray analysis. To evaluate the insecticidal potential of its constituents, in silico pesticide-likeness calculations for structures 1-16 were performed indicating no violations of the Tice rules. Tests for activity against acetylcholinesterase revealed that only cycloartanes 1 (78.85 µM) and 6 (53.54 µM) inhibited the enzyme. Molecular docking analysis showed interactions between compounds 1, 10, and 13, with Y337, a key amino acid in the catalytic site. A bioassay against Spodoptera frugiperda revealed that compounds 1, 2, 9, 10, and 13 displayed activity (50% lethal concentration for larval mortality [LC
