Microwave-Assisted Synthesized ZnO@APTES Quantum Dots Exhibits Potent Antibacterial Efficacy Against Methicillin-Resistant
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Antibiotic resistance of many bacteria, including Methicillin-resistant Methods: The water-soluble zinc oxide quantum dots modified by APTES (ZnO@APTES QDs) were prepared by a microwave assisted synthesis. Then ZnO@APTES QDs were characterized through various methods. After confirmation of synthesized ZnO@APTES QDs, its bactericidal effect on MRSA was detected through in vitro and in vivo experiments, and its mechanism of action was analyzed. Results: Characterization analysis revealed that the ZnO@APTES QDs have a particle size of 5 nm. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined to be 64 µg mL Conclusion: In summary, we have synthesized a highly effective water-soluble ZnO@APTES QDs that shows strong antibacterial and therapeutic efficacy against MRSA and other bacteria. The ZnO@APTES QDs holds significant potential for development as a new treatment agent for combating antibiotic-resistant infections.
