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 8 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 green synthesis approach for nanoparticle production offers several advantages over traditional physical and chemical methods. Notably, it avoids the use of hazardous chemicals and acts as a cost-effective and eco-friendly process. This study focuses on the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO- NPs) using the Punica granatum fruit peel extract. Punica granatum fruit peel extract was chosen for the environmentally friendly synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles due to its rich composition of bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, which function as natural reducing and stabilizing agents. The morphological, structural, and optical observations were confirmed through various techniques such as X- ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE- SEM), Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FT- IR), EDAX and dynamic light scattering (DLS). To further investigate the impact of synthesized nanoparticles, hemolysis and MTT (3-[4, 5- dimethylthiazol- 2- yl]- 2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assays were conducted. The morphology of the resulting nanoparticles was found to be spherical and homogeneous. DLS results show the hydrodynamic size of nanoparticles with a Z-average of 187 nm with polydispersity index (PdI) of nanoparticles to be 0.298 and zeta potential of nanoparticles is -17.6 mV. The results showed that green synthesis using Punica granatum fruit peel extract resulted in significantly higher cell viability in culture compared to traditional chemical synthesis. This finding highlights the project's aim to emphasize the advantages of the green synthesis approach on HFF-2 cell lines. These results offer powerful evidence for the potential capability of green synthesis ZnO nanoparticles with Punica granatum fruit peel extract opens up a new avenue of research in this area.
