Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from yam leaves: characterisation and in vitro efficacy against three phytopathogenic bacteria.

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
This study focused on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of Dioscorea alata leaves, followed by their detailed characterisation using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The AgNPs exhibited spherical shapes with sizes ranging from 50 to 106 nm, as confirmed by TEM and DLS, and a crystalline face-centred cubic structure as revealed by XRD analysis. The applicability of the synthesised nanoparticles for controlling bacteria of high interest in tropical agricultural environments (Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, Paracidovorax citrulli, and Pectobacterium brasiliense) was evaluated in vitro, revealing that AgNPs inhibited the growth of the three bacterial pathogens in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings demonstrate that AgNPs synthesised from D. alata leaves extract offer a promising, sustainable alternative for managing bacterial diseases affecting important crops, fostering the prospect of green synthesis as an environmentally friendly approach to support agricultural productivity and disease control.
