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 study aimed to evaluate fumigation and repellent properties of essential oils (EOs) from Juniperus macropoda leaves and cedarwood, Cedrus deodara against storage pests viz., Tribolium castaneum and Callosobruchus maculatus. Further, the volatile compounds released from essential oils were collected through headspace extraction and analyzed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The major compounds released from C. deodara EO were α-Cuprenene (15.53%) and α-Himachalene (13.42%) whereas 4-terpineol (22.35%) and Limonene (14.16%) dominated the volatile composition of J. macropoda EO. Fumigation assay showed that C. deodara EO was significantly more toxic than J. macropoda EO against T. castaneum larvae (LC
