Cefotaxime incorporated bimetallic silver-selenium nanoparticles: promising antimicrobial synergism, antibiofilm activity, and bacterial membrane leakage reaction mechanism.
Article in RSC advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 30 papers.
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
In this research, we reported for the first time the simple incorporation of antibiotic cefotaxime (CFM) with the synthesized Ag NPs, Se NPs, and bimetallic Ag-Se NPs by gamma rays, as a promising cost-effective, and eco-friendly method. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by UV-Vis. spectroscopy, XRD, EDX, HR-TEM, SEM/mapping, and EDX studies. The antimicrobial synergistic potential was investigated after CFM drug incorporation. Antibiofilm activity, growth curve assay, and effect of UV illumination were examined against some pathogenic microbes. The antibacterial reaction mechanism was evaluated by protein leakage assay and SEM imaging. HRTEM imaging confirmed the spherical shape and an average diameter of 10.95, 20.54, and 12.69 nm for Ag NPs, Se NPs, and Ag-Se NPs, respectively. Ag NPs-CFM, Se NPs-CFM, and Ag-Se NPs-CFM possessed antimicrobial activity against
