Comparative study on the biosynthesis of magnetite nanoparticles using
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study compares magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles synthesized using Aspergillus elegans extract versus commercially available magnetite nanoparticles, focusing on their efficacy in dye degradation. The biosynthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles using fungal extracts offers a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical methods. The nanoparticles were characterized using various techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, DLS, zeta potential, and VSM analysis, to assess their structural, morphological, and magnetic properties. Results showed that fungus-mediated Fe3O4 nanoparticles were smaller, with an average size of 19.2 nm, and exhibited better crystallinity, surface functionalization, and colloidal stability than their commercial counterparts, which had an average size of 60 nm. Additionally, the fungal nanoparticles displayed superior magnetic properties with a saturation magnetization of 50 emu/g compared to 36 emu/g for commercial Fe3O4. The dye degradation potential of the nanoparticles was tested using methyl violet, methyl orange, and rose bengal dyes. Fungus-mediated Fe3O4 nanoparticles demonstrated higher dye removal efficiency than commercial Fe3O4, indicating enhanced catalytic activity due to their smaller size and larger surface area. This study highlights the potential of myco-synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles as effective agents for environmental remediation, particularly in removing of hazardous synthetic dyes from wastewater.
