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
Mosquitoes are major vectors of infectious diseases, including malaria and lymphatic filariasis. This study evaluated the larvicidal activity of combined garlic and ginger against mosquito species. Larvae were collected from breeding sites and identified using standard morphological keys. Equal quantities of both plant materials (20 g total) were extracted using aqueous, ethanol, and methanol solvents. Phytochemical screening of the crude extracts was conducted using standard qualitative methods. Larvicidal activity was assessed by exposing ten larvae to extract concentrations of 250, 500, and 750 ppm. Mortality data were analyzed using probit analysis to determine LC₅₀ values, while Pearson's chi-square goodness-of-fit statistics were used to evaluate the adequacy of the fitted probit models using R software. Qualitative phytochemical screening detected the same classes of secondary metabolites across all solvent extracts. Larvicidal activity showed a clear concentration-dependent increase, with methanol extract demonstrating the highest efficacy (up to 96.7 ± 3.3% mortality at 750 ppm), followed by ethanol and aqueous extracts. Probit analysis yielded lower estimated LC₅₀ values for methanol extracts than for ethanol and aqueous extracts in
