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

Schistosomiasis remains a significant public health burden in many developing countries. Plant-based molluscicides have gained considerable attention as alternatives for snail control, owing to their relatively lower toxicity and favorable environmental profile. However, prior to large-scale application, plant-based molluscicides require rigorous small-scale field trials and comprehensive toxicity assessments under natural conditions to confirm their efficacy and evaluate their potential impact on nontarget organisms, particularly fish. This study evaluated the molluscicidal activity of 70% ethanol and chloroform fractions of
