Antimicrobial activities of biologically synthesized metal nanoparticles: an insight into the mechanism of action.
Review in Journal of biological inorganic chemistry : JBIC : a publication of the Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 109 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
Increasing antimicrobial resistance is a clinical crisis worldwide. Recent progress in the field of green synthesis has fascinated scientists and researchers to explore its potentials against pathogenic microbes. Bioinspired-metal-based nanoparticles (silver, copper, gold, zinc, etc.) have been reported to be tested against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria such as B. subtilis, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., as well as some pathogenic fungi including A. niger, F. oxysporum, A. fumigatus, etc., and are testified to exhibit inhibitory effects against pathogenic microbes. The possible modes of action of these metal nanoparticles include: (a) excess production of reactive oxygen species inside microbes; (b) disruption of vital enzymes in respiratory chain via damaging microbial plasma membranes; (c) accumulation of metal ions in microbial membranes; (d) electrostatic attraction between metal nanoparticles and microbial cells which disrupt metabolic activities; and (e) inhibition of microbial proteins/enzymes by increased production of H
