Article in BMC veterinary research, 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
backgroundHyalomma rufipes (H. rufipes) ticks are widespread in Africa, Europe, and Asia. They transmit crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus, rickettsia, and midichloria, posing a significant risk to public health and livestock development. Developing acaricides based on plant essential oils (EOs) have risen, yet matters regarding their mechanism and feasible methods for tick tests remain unanswered. The aim of this study was to identify the chemical constituents of three EOs and evaluate their acaricidal activity against larval and adult ticks of H. rufipes, as well as to establish an artificial membrane feeding technique to explore the feasibility of Cinnamomum mollifolium EO for tick control in vitro.
resultsIn this study, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to analyze the constituents of C. mollifolium, Eucalyptus globulus, and Pimenta dioica EOs, as well as to investigate their potential application in H. rufipes control. The main compound in C. mollifolium EO is (E)-Cinnamaldehyde (93.15%). Eucalyptus globulus EO comprises eucalyptol (61.02%) and l-(+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate (35.89%). Pimenta dioica EO predominantly includes eugenol (73.67%), 1,2-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)-benzene (13.04%), and caryophyllene (7.24%). Larval packet tests revealed that the EOs of C. mollifolium, E. globulus, and P. dioica exhibited notable larvicidal activity, with lethal concentration (LC
conclusionThis study offers useful information on the chemical makeup and tick-killing ability of essential oils from C. mollifolium, E. globulus, and P. dioica against ticks. The acaricidal potency of C. mollifolium EO significantly surpasses that of both E. globulus and P. dioica EOs. The effective use of artificial membrane feeding technology also highlights its value for future tick control research and applications.
