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

Due to the antibacterial characteristics, numerous-growing applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and its coated forms impact water treatment by ozone. The influence of ozone on the aggregation of bare AgNPs and polyvinylpyrrolidone-capped form (PVP-AgNPs) was investigated, as toxicity of NPs depends on particle aggregation/surface charge. Full factorial experimental design was employed to investigate the impact of pH, concentration of NPs' suspension, and ozonation time on bare and PVP-capped AgNPs. Z-Average, zeta potential, and polydispersity index (PdI) of NPs were measured as aggregation criteria. The most effective variables on aggregation of NPs were the coating layer (40-75.5% contribution), pH (14.1-29.6% contribution), and ozonation time (6.5-10.1% contribution), respectively. The aggregation rate increased with increasing ozonation time and decreased with pH. The aggregation of ozonated AgNPs (Z-average up to ~ 4000 nm) was much greater than that of ozonated PVP-AgNPs (Z-average up to ~ 450 nm) due to interaction of ozone-PVP stabilizing layer. During ozonation, the PVP-AgNPs' surface charge shifted from - 6.62 (steric repulsion) to - 29.17 mV (electrosteric repulsion) at pH 7.5, thereby requiring more treatment time to aggregate compared with AgNPs.
