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

Nanotechnology is the platform with the greatest promise for scientific advancements. One of the advancement is improvement in photocatalytic and antibacterial performance. This work was undertaken to synthesize un-doped and silver (Ag) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) using an inexpensive wet chemical method and to investigate the structural and optical properties, photocatalytic and antibacterial activity. The structural analysis from X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of un-doped and Ag-doped ZnO NPs displayed hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure and shifting in the peak position confirms the incorporation of Ag in ZnO lattice. Morphological study done by scanning electron microscope reveals spherical shaped NPs and an increase in grain size with Ag doping, the HRTEM images showed the nanocrystalline nature of particle. The Raman spectra showed variation in vibrational characteristics of the nanoparticles with Ag doping. The functional groups were analyzed using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The optical properties were investigated by UV-visible and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic techniques. The Ag-doped ZnO NPs have a notably lower band gap than that of un-doped ZnO NPs,
