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

The aim of our study on the essential oil of the local plant Pelargonium graveolens, collected from Tebessa, Northeast Algeria, is to determine its chemical composition and its toxicity as well as effects on biochemical and enzymatic parameters of Culex pipiens as well as Culiseta longiareolata mosquito at the fourth larval stage. The P. graveolens essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillationthen analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The analysis revealed that the major constituents of this oil were Citronellol (24.86%), followed by Geraniol (20.50%), Citronellylformate (8.30%), Geranyl isovalerate (8.12%), Lavandulyl acetate (5.51%), Menthone (5.26%), and Linalool (2.91%). This essential oil's toxicity was tested on larvae (stage four) of Cx. pipiens and Cs.longiareolata mosquitoes. Our study has shown that P. graveolens EO has great larvicidal efficiency against L
