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

objectivesTo assess the extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles using marine derived fungi Aspergillus brunneoviolaceus with their antibacterial and antioxidant activities.

resultsThe biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was estimated by the change in color from light yellow to dark brown within 36 h as the reaction progressed. UV-Visible spectroscopy exhibited its stability at 411 nm; ATR-FTIR spectroscopy depicted the functional group responsible for its production; X-Ray Diffraction denoted its crystalline FCC structure resembling the peaks in XRD pattern, corresponding to [111], [200], [220], [311] and [222] planes; TEM imaging revealed its spherical morphology with the particle size ranging from 0.72 to 15.21 nm and Tauc's plot analysis that disclosed its band gap energy as 2.44 eV that manifested the potential of AgNPs to be semiconductors. The characterization data henceforth, confirmed the efficient production of silver nanoparticles. The biosynthesized AgNPs expressed strong antibacterial activity against two Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria. They also proved to possess higher antioxidative potentials by showing their potent radical scavenging activity against DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl).

conclusionsThe study unfolds the prospect for further utilization of this mycogenically synthesized AgNPs as antibacterial, antioxidative and anticancer agents.
