Comparative toxicity and environmental impact assessments of sonochemically-synthesized CuO and Zn-doped CuO nanoparticles using zebrafish and LCA tools.
Article in Discover nano, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Nanomaterials (NMs), including nanoparticles (NPs), offer promising potential in achieving the European Commission's Green Deal goals of climate-neutral, zero-pollution and circular economy. Metal oxide NPs display antimicrobial properties, with efficacy also towards antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Nevertheless, the increasing manufacture, use and unintended release of NMs particularly in aquatic compartments, raises concerns about their environmental sustainability and safety towards non-target organisms. Within the Safe and Sustainable by Design framework, this study compares toxicity and environmental impacts of sonochemically synthesized water-based CuO and Zn-doped CuO NPs. Zebrafish embryos were exploited in a high-throughput developmental and behavioral screening to investigate nanosafety. The Fish Embryo acute Toxicity test was used to assess the NPs aquatic toxicity potential, while behaviour was addressed by tracking embryos activity. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was implemented through the OpenLCA software to evaluate the environmental footprint of the NPs synthesis. Our findings showed no significative lethality at the tested concentrations (0.01-100 mg/L) (LC
