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

Green synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles of noble metals is highly desirable in nanomedicine because of their potential use as anticoagulant, thrombolytic and anticancer agents. In this study, it was discovered that the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger proved effective in producing bimetallic Ag-Au nanoparticles. A. niger culture supernatant was able to produce Ag-AuNPs by reducing the solution of chloroauric acid/silver nitrate (1.0:1.0 mM) within 2 min at 100 °C and pH 8. Experimental Ag-AuNP detection was performed by visually observing the color change to reddish brown. The produced nanoparticles displayed maximal absorbance at 530 nm in UV-vis spectroscopy. According to transmission electron microscopy, most of the nanoparticles were spherical, with a mean diameter of 8-10 nm. The biosynthesis of Ag-AuNPs by A. niger was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray analytical techniques. Its zeta potential was discovered to be -34.01 mV. The biosynthesized Ag-AuNPs exhibited effective thrombolytic and antiplatelet aggregation actions by totally preventing and dissolving the blood clot which was verified by microscopic examination, amelioration of blood coagulation assays, and carrageenan-induced tail thrombosis model. The findings verified the effectiveness of biosynthesized Ag-AuNPs as a powerful antitumor agent against HepG2 and A549 cell lines with IC
