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 development of Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) from the green sources has significant attraction due to their eco-compatibility, safety, and nontoxic nature. This work demonstrated the synthesis of IONPs using the aqueous root extract of Cyperus rotundus, a traditional antibacterial plant source (Cr-IONPs). The synthesized Cr-IONPs were characterized by various analytical instruments DLS, Zeta, XRD, SEM, VSM, etc. to evaluate its physicochemical and magnetic nature. The results confirmed the uniform shape of Cr-IONPs within a size range of 30-70 nm. Additionally, they exhibited excellent colloidal stability with a Zeta potential value of -30.50 ± 1.79 mV. The VSM analysis revealed a superparamagnetic nature with zero remanence value. The antibacterial study showed that Cr-IONPs exhibited strong antibacterial potential in a concentration-dependent manner. Both Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphyllococcus aureus (S. aureus) strains demonstrated that Cr-IONPs exhibit potent antibacterial activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the diameter of the zone of inhibition increased with higher concentrations of the Cr-IONPs. These results demonstrate that the Cr-IONPs synthesized via a greener approach using C. rotundus extract exhibit strong antibacterial activity and biocompatibility, making them a promising candidate as a future antibacterial agent against multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Additionally, their superparamagnetic nature also broadens their potential for biomedical applications, including targeted drug delivery and diagnostics.
