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 green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Mangifera indica (mango) fruit peel and its subsequent application to imbue color and antibacterial properties to cotton thread is explored in this study. Mango peels were dried, ground, and extracted with methanol and was added to gold ion solutions at 55 °C to synthesize AuNP. AuNPs were synthesized at different concentrations, producing various colors, and were successfully used to dye cotton threads via a heating method. The structural and optical properties of AuNPs were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The bioactive compounds of mango peel extract were determined using Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The antibacterial potential of AuNP-dyed cotton threads was examined by disc diffusion method against E. coli and S. aureus based on the zone of inhibition. Change in color of the reaction mixture to red indicated the formation of AuNPs. The presence of UV characteristic peak around 530 nm confirmed the presence of spherical AuNPs. NMR spectrum further confirmed the presence of bioactive functional groups involved in the reduction of HAuCl
