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

Chemical pesticides have been used as a reliable method of controlling pests on crops. However, their applications have led to the development of resistance, environmental problems, and risks to human health. Therefore, new chemicals in nanoform such as chlorophyll derivatives could be a good choice for pest control through the induction of reactive oxygen species, liberating singlet oxygen when they are excited by photo exposure. The present work evaluated the toxicity of magnesium chlorophyllin (Mg-Chl) and magnesium chlorophyllin zinc oxide (Mg-Chl-ZnO NC) nanocomposite on Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Additionally, the biochemical changes of detoxifying enzymes, such as carboxylesterases (CXEs) and glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs), were investigated. In silico, molecular docking analysis was also performed to assess the binding affinities of the tested compounds to CXE22 and SfGSTe9. Thus, the evaluation of potential photosensitizers against the second instar larvae of Chrysoperla carnea Stephens, as non-target insect and active predator of aphids, was conducted. The results showed that both Mg-Chl and Mg-Chl-ZnO NC have a high potency against S. frugiperda with LC
