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

Essential oils offer a viable alternative to traditional agrochemicals, mitigating problems such as environmental contamination and weed resistance. However, application faces challenges such as low solubility in water and rapid environmental degradation. To overcome these limitations, nanoemulsions containing essential oils from Piper amalago L. and Piper dilatatum Rich were formulated using ultrasonic homogenization. These nanoemulsions were investigated for their herbicidal properties through phytotoxic and cytogenotoxic activity assays using weed plants Bidens pilosa L. and Lolium multiflorum Lam., and model plant Lactuca sativa L. The results indicated that the nanoemulsions presented nanometric-sized droplets (~ 10 nm), PDI close to 0, and greater thermal stability compared to essential oils. The nanoemulsions exerted an inhibitory effect on germination and growth of plants studied, possibly due to cytogenotoxic and mutagenic damages observed. Furthermore, content of photosynthetic pigments was affected, indicating oxidative damage and changes in chlorophyll metabolism.
