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

This work investigates the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoaciculates (ZNA) using the Sol-gel method and their potential as a long-term bio-control agent against Meloidogyne javanica, a root-knot nematode that causes severe damage to Phaseolus abyssinicus. The produced ZNA were evaluated using SEM-EDS, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis spectroscopy to ensure precise evaluation of their nanoscale characteristics. Bio-efficacy assays were carried out at four concentrations (125, 250, 375, and 500 mg/L) to evaluate nematicidal activity on juvenile nematodes (J2) and M. javanica egg masses. The results showed that ZNA had significant toxicity at all doses, with the highest efficacy observed at 500 mg/L. Furthermore, the administration of ZNA improved the development and physiological features of P. abyssinicus, exhibiting their dual role as both nematicide and growth promoter. These findings demonstrate ZNA's potential as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical nematicides, promoting agricultural sustainability while minimizing negative environmental impacts.
