Toxicity of Foeniculum vulgare essential oil, its main component and nanoformulation against Phthorimaea absoluta and the generalist predator Macrolophus pygmaeus.

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 encapsulation of essential oils (EOs) in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) represents an innovative and advanced approach to improve their stability and efficacy. This study evaluated, for the first time, the toxicity of Foeniculum vulgare EO (FVO), its main component, and nanoformulation (FVO-NLC) on Phthorimaea absoluta and their side effects on generalist predator, Macrolophus pygmaeus. The obtained FVO-NLC had spherical and small (86.32 nm) particle sizes, and its encapsulation efficacy was greater than 98%. FTIR analysis revealed no significant chemical interaction between EO and NLC components. Trans-anethole (TAL) (66.22%) was identified as the key FVO component. The leaf dip method was used for bioassays. FVO-NLC and FVO showed a similar level of contact toxicity against P. absoluta with LC
