Ultraviolet Light-degradation Behavior and Antibacterial Activity of Polypropylene/ZnO Nanoparticles Fibers.

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
Herein, ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using zinc acetate and an amino hyperbranched polymer. The methods of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were applied to the characterization of ZnO NPs. Polypropylene (PP)/ZnO fiber was prepared using 1-5 wt% ZnO NPs via melt spinning. The ultraviolet light (UV)-degradation behavior, antibacterial activity and mechanical properties of PP fibers were characterized. The PP fiber filled with ZnO NPs presents better mechanical properties and the resistance to UV light degradation. For the best effect, the contents of ZnO NPs were set 4 wt% in PP fiber. FTIR analysis shows significant photo-degradation of PP induced by UV irradiation and a remarkable reduction in the UV degradation of the fiber filled with ZnO NPs. It is also observed that the ZnO NPs-filled fiber has good antibacterial actives against
