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

Asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation coupled with use of ultraviolet-visible, multiangle light scattering (MALLS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) detectors was used for separation and characterization of biologically synthesized silver composites in two liquid compositions. Moreover, to supplement the DLS/MALLS information, various complementary techniques such as transmission electron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) were used. The hydrodynamic diameter and the radius of gyration of silver composites were slightly larger than the sizes obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, the TEM results revealed the presence of silver clusters and even several morphologies, including multitwinned. Additionally, MALDI-TOF MS examination showed that the particles have an uncommon cluster structure. It can be described as being composed of two or more silver clusters. The organic surface of the nanoparticles can modify their dispersion. We demonstrated that the variation of the silver surface coating directly influenced the migration rate of biologically synthesized silver composites. Moreover, this study proves that the fractionation mechanism of silver biocolloids relies not only on the particle size but also on the type and mass of the surface coatings. Because silver nanoparticles typically have size-dependent cytotoxicity, this behavior is particularly relevant for biomedical applications. Graphical abstract Workflow for asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation of natural biologically synthesized silver nanocomposites.
