Exploring the Effectiveness of Chlorophacinone in Managing Urban Rat Infestation: A Laboratory Study on the Norway Rat,

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
Background: Rat populations in urban areas must be monitored and controlled, as they can transmit zoonotic diseases and pose a risk to human health. Certain urban rat species may not respond well to some of the rodenticides available on the market. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the efficacy of chlorophacinone in controlling urban rats in a laboratory setting. Methods: Chlorophacinone, the primary focus of this study, was compared to a commonly used first-generation anticoagulant rodenticide (FGAR) available in the urban market, namely Coumatetralyl. Rat specimens were trapped in Kuantan, Pahang, and the dominant species was identified as Results: Overall, chlorophacinone demonstrated nearly complete mortality (95%) within an average of eight days post-feeding, followed by coumatetralyl, which exhibited high mortality (85%) within an average of seven days post-feeding. The rats in the chlorophacinone group consumed significantly lower dosages than those in the coumatetralyl group. This was due to variations in the default concentrations of the active ingredient of both treatments. Nevertheless, rats in the chlorophacinone treatment still experienced a higher mortality rate compared to coumatetralyl, despite consuming a lower dosage. Conclusion: Consequently, this finding suggests that
