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
Generally, fungi have the ability to secrete large amounts of secondary metabolites which have the ability to reduce metal ions to metallic nanoparticles. In this report, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by using an endophytic fungus isolated from the medicinal plant, Catharanthus roseus (Linn.). The endophytic fungus was identified as Botryosphaeria rhodina based on the ITS sequencing. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by adopting various high-throughput techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and UV-Visible spectrophotometer. In vitro anticancer efficacy of AgNPs was tested on A-549 cells. The synthesized AgNPs were effective in scavenging free radicals and induced hallmarks of apoptosis including nuclear and DNA fragmentation in lung (A549) cancer cell lines under in vitro conditions. The results suggested that the natural biomolecules in the endophytic fungi incorporated into the nanoparticles could be responsible for the synergetic cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. The AgNPs were found to have cytotoxicity IC
