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
Along with the progress of nanoscience and nanotechnology came the means to synthesize nanometric scale materials. While changing their physical and chemical properties, they implicitly changed their application area. The aim of this paper was the synthesis of colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs by ultrasonic disruption), using soluble starch as a reducing agent and further as a stabilizing agent for produced Ag-NPs. In this context, an important parameter for Ag-NPs preparation is the pH, which can determine the particle size and stability. The physical-chemical behavior of the synthesized Ag-NPs (shape, size, dispersion, electric charge) is strongly influenced by the pH value (experiment being conducted for pH values in the range between 8 and 13). The presence of a peak located at 412 nm into the UV-VIS spectra demonstrates the presence of silver nano-spheres into the produced material. In UV/VIS spectra, we observed a specific peak for yellow silver nano-spheres located at 412 nm. Samples characterization was performed by scanning electron microscopy, SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, EDX, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and FT-IR. For all Ag-NP samples, we determined the zeta and observed that the Ag-NP particles obtained at higher pH and have better stability. Due to the intrinsic therapeutic properties and broad antimicrobial spectrum, silver nanoparticles have opened new horizons and new approaches for the control of different types of infections and wound healing abilities. In this context, the present study also aims to confirm the antimicrobial effect of prepared Ag-NPs against several bacterial strains (indicator and clinically isolated strains). In this way, it was confirmed that the antimicrobial activity of synthesized Ag-NPs was good against
