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

This study was performed to explore acute toxicity of biologically synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to a model organism Daphnia magna. Hence, using aqueous extract of marine macroalga Saccharina japonica, two AuNPs including SJ-AuNPs-72 (72.6 ± 43.8 nm) and SJ-AuNPs-10 (10.8 ± 2.8 nm) were synthesized. These AuNPs were characterized by different techniques such as UV-Vis spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The 48-h LC
