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

In the present study, we demonstrate that pyroligneous acid (PA), also known as wood vinegar, functions efficiently as both reducing and stabilizing agent in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The synthesis and stabilization of AgNPs take place in the following fashion: 1) in alkaline environment, oxygenated species (phenols in the present case) contained in PA reduce silver ions to metallic silver; 2) acetic acid, abundantly present in PA, adsorb onto the AgNPs conferring electrostatic stabilization. This mechanism is supported by GC-MS and RAMAN analysis, with the former revealing the compounds lacking in PA after nanoparticle synthesis and the latter demonstrating acetic acid adsorbed on the nanoparticles. The AgNPs produced via this method were quite stable up to 150 days (zeta potential = -56 mV). The AgNPs were then found to inhibit the growth of
