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

Mosquito-borne diseases pose a major global health burden, and the effectiveness of conventional insecticides is increasingly limited by resistance and environmental concerns. This study provides a comparative assessment of the larvicidal activity and phytochemical composition of n-hexane extracts from four Solanaceous plants: Capsicum annuum (Cap.), Datura stramonium (Dat.), Nicotiana tabacum (To.), and Withania somnifera (Wt.). Volatile constituents were characterized using GC-MS analysis, and larvicidal activity was evaluated against Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti, with LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ values determined at 24 and 48 h. post-treatment. All extracts showed concentration- and time-dependent toxicity, achieving near-complete mortality at 1000 ppm for N. tabacum and D. stramonium. Nicotiana tabacum showed the highest efficacy against Cx. pipiens (LC
