Thymol and menthol as anaesthetics for short transportation of zebrafish larva.
Article in Fish physiology and biochemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Transportation-induced stress is a major concern in aquaculture, often causing physiological and behavioural disruptions in fish. To alleviate these effects, anaesthesia is commonly used, but the most widely used anaesthetics, MS-222 and eugenol, have been linked to adverse effects, and alternatives are lacking. This study evaluated the anaesthetic efficacy of thymol and menthol, in comparison with MS-222 and eugenol, under stress conditions induced by a simulated 4-h transportation of 96 hpf zebrafish larvae.
