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

backgroundNovel platforms using nanotechnology-based medicines have exponentially increased in our daily lives. The unique characteristics of metal oxide and noble metals nanoparticles make them suitable for different fields including antimicrobial agents, cosmetics, textiles, wound dressings, and anticancer drug carriers.

methodsThis study focuses on the biosynthesis of small-sized SNPs using exo-metabolites of Fusarium oxysporum via bioprocess optimization using Plackett-Burman (PBD) and central composite designs (CCD) while evaluating their multifaceted bioactivities.

resultsThe successful biofabrication of smaller-sized SNPs with an average particle size of ~ 5 nm was achieved upon the bioprocess optimization. The developed SNPs exhibited significant antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for SNPs were 0.078 µg/ml (Escherichia coli), 0.156 µg/ml (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and 1.25 µg/ml (Enterococcus faecalis), while the minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) were correspondingly 0.156 µg/ml, 0.312 µg/l, and 1.25 µg/ml. SNPs-treated cells displayed bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects as revealed by time-kill assay and the ultrastructure changes observed in SEM and TEM analyses. The results marked the potent antioxidant activity of SNPs against DPPH, O

conclusionsThe green synthesis of SNPs by F. oxysporum exometabolites is eco-friendly, and inexpensive, with the production of small-size, and greatly stabilized nanoparticles. This study corroborated that SNPs can be highly promising enough to be applied for antibacterial and anticancer control systems, for ameliorating free radical-related disorders, and as a photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.
