Novelty of harnessing electromagnetic fields to boost graphene oxide nano particles antibacterial potency.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The urge need for innovative integration between Electromagnetic Waves (EMWs) and nanotechnology offers exciting possibilities for improving antimicrobial treatments to combat antibacterial resistant bacterial infections. This study explores how EMWs at range below 300 Hz can enhance the antibacterial efficacy of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles (GONPs) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a significant pathogen in antibiotic resistance. EMWs at range below 300 Hz, interact with bacterial cell membranes to affect ion channels, permeability, and cellular signaling, offering a non-invasive method to amplify antimicrobial effects. GONPs synthesized through glucose pyrolysis and characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, exhibit potent antibacterial properties due to their sharp edges, large surface area, and ability to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). These nanoparticles disrupt bacterial membranes, form biofilms, and damage cellular components through oxidative stress. The study examines how those EMWs can enhance GONP penetration into bacterial cells, increase ROS production, and disrupt biofilms. By optimizing EMWs parameters such as frequency, intensity, and duration this research aims to develop new, non-invasive antibacterial therapies. The results could lead to advanced antimicrobial strategies, integrating nanotechnology with electromagnetic field exposure, offering innovative solutions to address antibiotic-resistant infections and improve treatment efficacy. This approach represents a significant step toward more effective, targeted antibacterial therapies.
