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

The synthesis of nanoparticles using plant extracts has become a green approach for developing modern drugs. This study focuses on synthesizing gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using methanolic leaf (L) and bark (B) extracts from four Bignoniaceae species with a focus on their antioxidant properties. The formation of these nanoparticles was confirmed using UV-Vis spectroscopy, while their size, shape, and morphological characteristics were analyzed through multiple analytical methods. Among four plants, leaf and bark extracts of Kigelia africana (sausage tree) were found most effective in synthesizing the stable Au NPs (KA-Au NPs), which displayed unique hexagonal, rhomboid, and triangular shapes with an average size of 24-28 nm, as observed in TEM. In addition, the presence of plant-based phytochemicals bound to the nanoparticle surfaces was confirmed through FT-IR studies. Among the synthesized NPs, KA-Au NPs demonstrated higher antioxidant activity in both DPPH and nitric oxide radical scavenging assays, with the lowest IC
