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

This study describes the development and characterization of a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based nanogel. The nanogel coencapsulates thymol, carvacrol, and cinnamaldehyde to enhance mosquito repellency. These phytochemicals were selected for their potential complementary and multimodal neurotoxic and olfactory-disrupting effects. The nanogel was synthesized by spontaneous emulsification, followed by polymeric gelation. Its physicochemical properties were assessed with dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, rheological measurements, and stability tests. The nanogel showed an optimal size (177 ± 6 nm; PDI: 0.17 ± 0.02; SPAN: 0.96), robust colloidal stability, and pseudoplastic flow behavior. This is consistent with the Carreau-Yasuda model. Repellency assays showed complete protection for 410 ± 45 min against
