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

Dengue, a mosquito-borne disease, is prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas. Nanotechnology has paved new ways for combating insects. Therefore, the current study was planned to evaluate the larvicidal efficacy of silver nano-bioinsecticides against the dengue vector Aedes aegypti. The plant extracts of Psidium guajava (Guava), Calendula officinalis (Marigold) and Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi) were prepared and their component analysis was conducted by GC-MS analysis. Plant extracts conjugated silver nano-bioinsecticides (AgNBIs) were prepared and capped with silk sericin. The larvicidal activities of silk sericin-capped silver nano bioinsecticides (SS-AgNBIs) were evaluated against 4th instar of Ae. aegypti larvae. The formation of silk sericin-capped silver nano bioinsecticides (SS-AgNBIs) was confirmed through UV-analysis, Fourier-transform infrared analysis (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results of our study indicated that the SS-AgNBIs showed significant toxicity against Ae. aegypti larvae as compared to negative control There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the larvicidal potential of the silk sericin capped silver nanobioinsecticides synthesized by tulsi (SS-AgNBI-tenuiflorum), guava (SS-AgNBI-guajava) and marigold (SS-AgNBI-officinalis) against Ae. aegypti larvae. The most effective larvicide was SS-AgNBI-officinalis (LC
