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

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are potent antimicrobial agents, but their utility is limited due to their relatively high cytotoxicity. In this work, we used trehalose as the ligand to reduce the cytotoxicity of AgNPs without affecting their antimicrobial activities. Trehalose is a disaccharide that is unique to mycobacteria. We showed that trehalose-functionalized AgNPs, AgNP-Tre, drastically increased the viability of A549 cells, especially at high concentrations, for example, from 4% for AgNPs to 67% for AgNP-Tre at 64
