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
This study is the first to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of Ocimum micranthum essential oil against Haemonchus contortus. The oil was chemically characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Anthelmintic activity was assessed using the egg hatching test (EHT), larval development test (LDT), larval migration inhibition test (LMIT), and adult worm motility test (AWMT) against a multidrug-resistant H. contortus isolate. Following AWMT, oil-induced morphological and ultrastructural alterations were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Eugenol was the major oil component (78.44%). The oil exhibited anthelmintic activity in all assays, with EC50 values of 0.19 (EHT), 0.031 (LDT), 0.63 (LMIT) and 0.046 (AWMT) mg/mL. At 0.25 mg/mL, complete inhibition of adult motility was observed at the first evaluation time point (3 h post-exposure). SEM revealed damage to the cuticle, buccal capsule, and vulvar flap, whereas TEM demonstrated alterations in internal tissues. Ocimum micranthum essential oil was effective against H. contortus eggs, larvae, and adults. Therefore, further studies evaluating its toxicological safety and efficacy in small ruminants are required to validate its potential as an anthelmintic.
