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

Superficial fungal infections (SFIs) represent a serious threat to global public health. It is known that silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are characterized by potent antimicrobial properties. However, the therapeutic potential of biosynthetic AgNPs on superficial fungi have rarely been reported. The objectives of this study were to isolate endophytic fungi from medicinal plants for the biosynthesis of AgNPs and to assess the inhibitory effects of these AgNPs on superficial fungi as well as their biosafety toward skin cells. The endophytic fungal strain ZMS27, capable of biosynthesizing AgNPs, was isolated from medicinal plant Anemarrhena asphodeloides and identified as Clonostachys rosea. The UV‒visible spectroscopic measurements revealed a strong absorption peak at 340 nm, indicating the successful synthesis of the ZMS27-AgNPs. The AgNPs were well-dispersed, globular particles with an average diameter of 7.33 ± 0.18 nm, as determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. The FTIR analysis revealed that various functional molecules from C. rosea ZMS27 are involved in the synthesis of AgNPs. ZMS27-AgNPs significantly inhibited the growth of five superficial pathogenic fungi at minimal inhibitory concentration ranging from 1.56 to 25 µg·mL
