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

Iron coating was introduced as one of the novel techniques to improve physicochemical and biological properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In the current experiment, impact of iron coating on the antimicrobial potency of AgNPs was investigated against methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). To obtain more accurate data about the antimicrobial potency of examined nanostructures, the experiment was done on the 10 isolates of MRSA which were isolated from skin lesions. AgNPs and iron-coated AgNPs (Fe@AgNPs) were fabricated based on a green one-pot reaction procedure. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Fe@AgNPs was not significantly different with MIC of AgNPs against eight out of 10 examined MRSA isolates. Also, by iron coating a reduction in the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of AgNPs was observed against two MRSA isolates. The average MIC of AgNPs against 10 MRSA isolates was calculated to be 2.16 ± 0.382 mg/mL and this value was reduced to 1.70 ± 0.638 mg/mL for Fe@AgNPs. However, this difference was not considered significant statistically (P-value > 0.05). From productivity point of view, it was found that iron coating would improve the productivity of the synthesis reaction more than fivefold. Productivity of AgNPs was calculated to be 1.02 ± 0.07 g/L, meanwhile this value was 5.25 ± 0.05 g/L for Fe@AgNPs. Iron coating may provide another economic benefit to reduce final price of AgNPs. It is obvious that the price of a particular nanostructure made of silver and iron is significantly lower than that of pure silver. These findings can be considered for the fabrication of economic and potent antimicrobial nanoparticles.
