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

Background and Aim: Ectoparasites, such as Materials and Methods: Essential oils were extracted through steam distillation and characterized using specific gravity, refractive index, and optical rotation. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify major chemical constituents. Contact toxicity assays were conducted on adult lice and mites exposed to essential oil combinations (Citronella [CT]: Ginger [G] in ratios of 70:30, 50:50, and 30:70). Results: GC-MS revealed citral, neral, and limonene as key constituents of citronella oil, and zingiberene and sesquiphellandrene in ginger oil. All essential oil combinations showed 100% Conclusion: Combinations of citronella and ginger essential oils, particularly CT30:G70, offer a promising natural alternative to chemical pesticides for managing poultry ectoparasites. Their high efficacy, rapid action, and safety profile support their use in organic and sustainable poultry farming.
