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

Chemical pesticides are used to control sanitary pests, but their negative effects human health, and the development of resistance highlight the necessity of developing new technologies. In this study, we focused on spiracle obstruction by isoparaffin as a means of pest control with low potential for resistance, and found its efficacy was strongly enhanced by ozone supplementation. When pest insects including cockroaches (Periplaneta fuliginosa), termites (Coptotermes formosanus), mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus), and stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys), were tested, mortality rates were above 60% when sprayed with a spray substance (SS) consisting of LPG, isopropyl alcohol, and isoparaffin, and 100% with ozone-supplemented spray substance (SS + O
