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

A rapid synthesis of a pH-stable magnetic nano-sensor (iron oxide nanoparticles, Fe-NPs, ∼2.6 nm) encapsulated with 3-aminobenzoic acid (3-ABA) was achieved. 3-ABA was prepared for the first time through the reduction of 3-nitrobenzoic acid (3-NBA) in the presence of HCl and tin. Electron-impact mass spectrometry (EIMS), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ultraviolet visible (UV) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for characterization. Ten drugs, namely, ciprofloxacin (CPF), levocetirizine (LCT), levofloxacin (LVF), sulbactam sodium (SBS), ephedrine (EPH), thymine (THM), sertraline (SRT), pyridoxine (PRX), cefotaxime (CFX) and ceftriaxone (CFT) were screened with Fe-NPs. A pronounced hypsochromic shift was observed for levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, proving that 3-ABA-coated Fe-NPs were an efficient nano-sensor for levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin up to the limit of 0.5 and 0.7 μM, respectively. The stoichiometry of the complexes was conclusively determined as 1 : 1 using Job's plot analysis. Furthermore, the drugs were successfully detected in real samples, including tap water, well water, and human blood. Moreover, the antioxidant activity, urease and lipoxygenase inhibitory potential of these nanoparticles were evaluated, exhibiting promising antioxidant potential.
