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

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) show enormous potential in biomedical applications. In recent years, green methods of their synthesis have become very popular. In this work, the influence of green synthesis conditions on the properties of the obtained nanoparticles was investigated. For this purpose, extracts of eight medicinal herbs were used, and the reaction was carried out with changing ratios of reagents and variable temperature. All obtained SeNPs were characterized by high stability, which is confirmed by the negative values of their zeta potential ranging from -11.8 to -29.4 mV. The highest correlation coefficient was determined between the size of the obtained SeNPs and the ratio of reagents used for the synthesis (the correlation coefficient is 0.681 for the synthesis carried out at room temperature and 0.914 for elevated temperature). In each case, the smallest nanoparticles were obtained from the synthesis carried out in a 1:1 reagent ratio. It was assessed that sometimes it is difficult to determine correlations between the results collected for all syntheses; therefore, the same correlations determined for specific herbs were also analyzed.
