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 increasing demand for eco-friendly, cost-effective and safe technologies, biosynthetic metal nanoparticles have attracted worldwide attention. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were extracellularly biosynthesized using the culture supernatants of Aspergillus sydowii. During synthesis, color change was preliminarily judge of the generation of AgNPs, and the UV absorption peak at 420 nm further confirms the production of AgNPs. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were also used to identify the AgNPs. The results shows that AgNPs has crystalline cubic feature and is a polydisperse spherical particle with size between 1 and 24 nm. Three main synthesis factors (temperature, pH and substrate concentration) were optimized, the best synthesis conditions were as follows 50 °C, 8.0 and 1.5 mM. In the biological application of AgNPs, it shows effective antifungal activity against many clinical pathogenic fungi and antiproliferative activity to HeLa cells and MCF-7 cells in vitro. Our research finds a new path to biosynthesis of AgNPs in an eco-friendly manner, and bring opportunity for biomedical applications in clinic.
