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 growing resistance of Anopheles gambiae Giles, 1902 to synthetic insecticides poses a major challenge to malaria control, driving interest in botanical alternatives. This study assessed the mosquitocidal and enzyme-inhibitory potential of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, 1765 essential oil (CiSEO) and its primary constituents through in vivo bioassays and in silico analyses. Larvicidal and adulticidal activities were evaluated following World Health Organization (WHO) protocols, and biochemical assays measured acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibition, along with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations examined interactions with A. gambiae AChE and GST. CiSEO showed strong toxicity against larvae (LC
