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

Ceratitis capitata, is one of the most considerable invasive pests affecting fruit production worldwide. Conventional pesticides are generally formulated using organic solvents and emulsifiers that, in turn, are flammable and toxic. Thanks to their small size and biocompatibility, liposome-like formulations may significantly improve the efficacy and safety of conventional pesticides. This study aims to develop an alternative and innovative etofenprox formulation based on phospholipid vesicles (ethosomes) and evaluate its possible application for agricultural pest control. Ethosomes and geraniol-ethosomes were prepared by the one-step sonication method, achieving vesicles with small sizes (around 267 nm) and low polydispersity index (around 0.04). These vesicles were stable over 90 days of storage at room temperature and could slow the release of etofenprox (57 ± 4% released), in comparison with a commercial formulation (85 ± 5% released) after 24 h. Ethosomes and geraniol-ethosomes showed similar retention properties on lemon leaves (13.3 ± 1.0 to 14.4 ± 1.2 mg/cm
