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

Utility of silver metal in antimicrobial therapy is an accepted practice since ages that faded with time because of the identification of a few silver resistant strains in the contemporary era. A successive development of antibiotics soon followed. However, due to an indiscriminate and unregulated use coupled with poor legal control measures and a dearth of expertise in handling the critical episodes, the antibiotics era has already seen a steep decline in the past decades due to the evolution of multi-drug resistant 'superbugs' which pose a sizeable challenge to manage with. Due to limited options in the pipeline and no clear strategy in the forefront, the aspirations for novel, MDR focused drug discovery to target the 'superbugs' arose which once again led to the rise of AgNPs in antimicrobial research. In this review, we have focused on the green routes for the synthesis of AgNPs, the mode of microbial inhibition by AgNPs, synergistic effect of AgNPs with antibiotics and future challenges for the development of nano-silver-based therapeutics.
