Optimum scavenger concentrations for sonochemical nanoparticle synthesis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Maintaining nanoparticle properties when scaling up a chemical synthesis is challenging due to the complex interplay between reducing agents and precursors. A sonochemical synthesis route does not require the addition of reducing agents as they are instead being continuously generated in-situ by ultrasonic cavitation throughout the reactor volume. To optimize the sonochemical synthesis of nanoparticles, understanding the role of radical scavengers is paramount. In this work we demonstrate that optimum scavenger concentrations exist at which the rate of Ag-nanoparticle formation is maximized. Titanyl dosimetry experiments were used in conjunction with Ag-nanoparticle formation rates to determine these optimum scavenger concentrations. It was found that more hydrophobic scavengers require lower optimum concentrations with 1-butanol < 2-propanol < ethanol < methanol < ethylene glycol. However, the optimum concentration is shifted by an order of magnitude towards higher concentrations when pyrolytic decomposition products contribute to the reduction. The reduction rate is also enhanced considerably.
