Nanoengineered cotton wipes for antiviral protection and environmental compatibility.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nanotechnology-based modifications enable the development of high-performance materials, expanding their applications beyond conventional uses. This study presents the production of sustainable antiviral cotton wipes through the nanoengineering of cotton fibers and investigates their mineralization behavior in compost and marine environments. Silver (Ag) nanoparticles, averaging 22 nm in diameter, were synthesized in situ using the inherent reducing agents present in raw cotton fiber and embedded within the fiber matrix. The modified cotton fibers were incorporated into nonwoven wipes using a hydroentanglement process at 20 wt%, yielding cotton wipes containing 225 mg/kg of Ag nanoparticles. The Ag-nanoengineered cotton wipes demonstrated a 99.68% reduction in virus titer against Feline calicivirus in a surface time-kill test using ready-to-use, pre-saturated wipes. Mineralization analyses indicated that both control and Ag-engineered cotton wipes followed first-order decay kinetics in compost and marine environments, with no significant difference in overall mineralization behavior. Ag-nanoengineered cotton wipes exhibited slightly lower mineralization rates, extended induction periods, and delayed maximum mineralization rates compared to control cotton wipes. Nanoengineering increased the half-life of cotton wipes by 19% in compost and 8% in marine conditions, suggesting complete mineralization within one month in compost and two months in marine environments.
