Anti-bacterial TeNPs biosynthesized by haloarcheaon Halococcus salifodinae BK3.
Article in Extremophiles : life under extreme conditions, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Microbial synthesis of highly structured metal sulfide and metallic nanoparticles is a benign approach of nanomaterial synthesis. Various microbes have been exploited for nanoparticle synthesis, but nanofabrication using haloarchaea is still in nascent stages. Here, we report the intracellular synthesis of hexagonal needle-shaped tellurium nanoparticles with an aspect ratio of 1:4.4, by the haloarcheon Halococcus salifodinae BK3. The isolate was able to tolerate up to 5.5 mM K2TeO3. The yield of tellurium nanoparticles was highest when the culture was exposed to 3 mM K2TeO3, even though the isolate exhibited slightly decreased growth rate as compared to the culture growing in the absence of K2TeO3. The enzyme tellurite reductase was responsible for tellurite resistance and nanoparticle synthesis in H. salifodinae BK3. These tellurium nanoparticles exhibited anti-bacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with higher antibacterial activity towards Gram-negative bacteria. This is the first report on the synthesis of tellurium nanoparticles by Halophilic archaea.
