Insecticidal potential of five medicinal plants: An In Vitro evaluation and molecular docking analysis of Artemisia absinthium.
Article in PloS one, 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
The Kashmir range of North-Western Himalayas harbours a large number of medicinal plants that have insecticidal, antifeedent or insect repellent properties. Herein, we evaluated the insecticidal activity of five medicinal plants including Artemisia absinthium, Acorus calamus, Digitalis purpurea, Plectranthus rugosus and Achiella millefolium against Corcyra cephalonica, Sitophilus oryzae and Helicoverpa armigera. The highest in vitro insecticidal activity was observed with the A. absinthium plant extract against the test insects. Following this, A. absinthium extract was assessed through high resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HR-LCMS). The small molecules thus identified from the A. absinthium extract were flexibly docked against the active site of acetylcholinesterase (Helicoverpa armigera) keeping the known inhibitor malaoxon as the reference. Four molecules encompassing kaempferol, diosmetin, 1,7-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) heptan-3-one and NP-021018 explored from the defined extract manifested the highest binding affinity than malaoxon. As kaempferol evinced the maximum binding activity towards acetylcholinesterase thus, the insecticidal activity of A. absinthium extract may be attributed to this molecule.
