Biological studies of synthesized silver nanoparticles using Prosopis farcta.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The evaluation of cytotoxic and apoptotic activities of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) synthesized by aqueous extract of Prosopis farcta was investigated against lung (A549) and colon (HT-29) cell lines. The cytotoxic activity of nanoparticles was performed using MTT assay, while their apoptotic activity was tested using TUNEL method. The obtained results of MTT showed that the cell viability of A549 was dependent on the nanoparticles concentration and incubation time. Therefore, although the cytotoxic effect increased as the Ag-NPs concentration and incubation time heightened, yet the viability of HT-29 cells seems to be dependent only on the incubation time. The apoptotic results of the nanoparticles showed more than 50% of apoptosis on A549 and HT-29 cell lines, which in this case, HT-29 demonstrated 100% apoptosis at concentrations of more than 400 µg/ml. It seems that Ag-NPs synthesized using P. farcta extract can serve as anti-cancer agent in the treatment many cancers through creating or discovering new drug forms.
