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

Nanotechnology-based pesticide delivery systems provide controlled release of agrochemicals along with enhanced stability, target specificity, and reduced environmental impact. Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa), valued for their flavor, nutritional content, and antioxidant properties, face a short shelf-life and significant postharvest losses due to Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea)-induced decay, posing a challenge to producers. This study reports the development of a biocompatible, botanical nano-formulated fungicide (BNF) to manage B. cinerea, as a resistant post-harvest pathogen. BNF, encapsulating citrus peel essential oil (CEO) within a biocompatible inorganic-organic matrix consisting of silica nanoporous and polyethylene glycol (PEG), was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) methods. To evaluate the efficacy of our treatments against B. cinerea, Signum (BASF), a commercial fungicide, was used as a positive control. Its antifungal efficacy was assessed at four different concentrations (0, 5000, 7000, and 10000 mg L
