3D-Printed Hydrogel Nanoplatforms for Sustainable Pest Control: Encapsulated Essential Oils as Biopesticides against

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 overuse of synthetic pesticides has raised significant concerns owing to their adverse environmental and health effects, fostering interest in sustainable alternatives for pest management. Essential oils have emerged as attractive biopesticide candidates because they offer eco-friendly insect control solutions. In this study, we developed 3D-printed hydrogel prototypes that combined sodium alginate, pectin, and Pluronic F127 with slow-release systems of geraniol and eugenol encapsulated in zein nanoparticles. The nanoparticles exhibited high encapsulation efficiency (>99%), with an average diameter of 318 ± 28 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.41 ± 0.05, and a zeta potential of 29 ± 2 mV, and remained stable for over 60 days. The printed hydrogel prototypes exhibited homogeneous structures and good mechanical stability. Biological assays with
