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 biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using fungi has received considerable attention, given that they are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and inexpensive. Therefore, the current work investigates the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the extracellular filtrate of Penicillium commune NRC 2016-3. Physicochemical analyses confirmed the formation of AgNPs with a surface plasmon resonance peak at 420 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed spherical particles ranging in size from 3.69 to 9.61 nm, with a zeta potential of -30.5 mV, indicating good stability. The biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited strong antibacterial and antifungal activity against various test microorganisms, with inhibition zones ranging from 30 to 33 mm for Gram-positive and 26 to 30 mm for Gram-negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were found to be 2-5 µg/mL and 20-30 µg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the AgNPs-treated fabrics revealed good antimicrobial properties and demonstrated their durability even after multiple washing cycles. This finding highlights the potential of green-synthesized AgNPs for creating durable antimicrobial textiles.
