Synthesis of silica nanoparticles from rice husk to determine insecticidal properties against Glyphodes pyloalis walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
The technology of producing silica nanoparticles from agricultural waste is the most economical method because of cheapness and abundance of agricultural waste at the end of harvest. Silica nanoparticles induce plant resistance, act as an insecticide by blocking insect spiracles, causing cuticle disruption and increasing the concentration of free radicals. Silica nanoparticles were synthesized from rice husk (SNRH) and their insecticidal properties were evaluated against the larvae of Glyphodes pyloalis Walker through the leaf-dipping method. This evaluation was followed by a qualitative examination using a scanning electron microscope and XRD analysis. The results showed an LC30 of 0. 0.115% for SNRH against fourth instar larvae. Treatment of mulberry leaves with the LC30 concentration influenced biological parameters and statistically decreased nutritional indices including ECD (Efficiency of conversion of digested food), ECI (Efficiency of conversion of ingested food), RCR (Relative consumption rate) and RGR (Relative growth rate). The activity of lipase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase and aminopeptidase decreased in the larvae fed on SNRH-treated leaves. The larvae that consumed SNRH-treated leaves showed higher activity of catalase, peroxidases and superoxide dismutase while other antioxidant enzymes showed no statistical difference compared to control. Our results demonstrated that SNRH had insecticidal properties against G. pyloalis by disrupting the nutritional and antioxidant traits of the larvae.
