Withania coagulans-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles: characterization and assessment of their phytochemical, antioxidant, toxicity, and antimicrobial activities.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundIn this study, we report the biofabrication of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using aqueous leaf extracts of Withania coagulans, which act as both reducing and capping agents. The goal was to synthesize and characterize the silver nanoparticles and evaluate their biological properties.
resultsThe silver nanoparticles were characterized by multiple techniques including UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), zeta potential, dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A surface plasmon resonance peak was observed at 420 nm, and the XRD pattern indicated highly crystalline Ag-NPs with a crystallite size of 39.76 nm. SEM and HRTEM revealed irregular morphology with an average particle diameter of 26.63 nm. Zeta potential of -21.4 mV indicated relatively stable nanoparticles. FTIR spectra displayed significant peaks at 3269, 2921, 1628, 1513, and 1385 cm⁻
conclusionsThe Withania coagulans leaf-extract-mediated silver nanoparticles exhibit remarkable antioxidant, phytochemical, and antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential for commercial applications in various biomedical and agricultural fields.
