Bringing the interaction of silver nanoparticles with bacteria to light.
Review in Biophysics reviews, 2021. 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
In past decades, the exploitation of silver nanoparticles in novel antibacterial and detection devices has risen to prominence, owing to the well-known specific interaction of silver with bacteria. The vast majority of the investigations focus on the investigation over the mechanism of action underpinning bacterial eradication, while few efforts have been devoted to the study of the modification of silver optical properties upon interaction with bacteria. Specifically, given the characteristic localized surface plasmon resonance of silver nanostructures, which is sensitive to changes in the charge carrier density or in the dielectric environment, these systems can offer a handle in the detection of bacteria pathogens. In this review, we present the state of art of the research activity on the interaction of silver nanoparticles with bacteria, with strong emphasis on the modification of their optical properties. This may indeed lead to easy color reading of bacterial tests and pave the way to the development of nanotechnologic silver-based bacterial detection systems and drug-screening platforms.
