Chemical Composition and Insecticidal Activity of Essential Oils from
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEssential oils, obtained from plants, are an alternative for controlling ectoparasites, particularly lice, mites and ticks, due to the problems posed by chemical insecticides, such as insect resistance, environmental impacts and concerns related to human and animal health. This study aims to investigate and compare the insecticidal activity of essential oils from
methodsThe chemical composition of the two oils obtained by hydrodistillation was determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and a flame ionisation detector (FID-MS). To determine insecticidal activity, the essential oils were tested at different concentrations (0.05-0.8 µL/mL), with mortality recorded after 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h and 4 h of exposure.
resultsA corrected mortality rate of 100% was achieved for concentrations of oregano and eucalyptus essential oils of 0.8 µL/mL and 0.4 µL/mL, respectively. The LC
conclusionBoth essential oils have similar and promising insecticidal potential and could be an alternative to chemical insecticides in a control strategy that is more respectful of human and animal health and the environment.
