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

Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) is a serious pest that causes post-harvest losses, which is a threat to global food security, therefore there is need to develop sustainable pest management strategies. This study investigates the synergistic insecticidal effects of zinc-loaded zeolite nanoparticles in combination with essential oils from Rosmarinus officinalis (L.) and Pimpinella anisum (L.) against C. maculatus adults and their progeny. Zeolite-A and zeolite-X were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and found to be highly crystalline and successfully zinc functionalized. The chemical profiles of the essential oils were elucidated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that zeolites alone had moderate insecticidal activity against the tested insect. Zeolites loaded with zinc enhanced insecticidal activity on C. maculatus. Combining zeolites with essential oils further increases insecticidal activity, with LC
