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

Gelatin-based films loaded with silver-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Ag-doped ZnONPs) were synthesized using the solution casting technique. The analyzed data of Ag-doped ZnONPs reveal their spherical shape with a small size. In our work, three different concentrations of the prepared Ag-doped ZnONPs (0.05 g, 0.1 g, and 0.2 g) were added to GeL solution for the formation of three films (Ag/ZnO 0.05@GeL film, Ag/ZnO 0.1@GeL film, and Ag/ZnO 0.2@GeL). These prepared films were compared with GeL film that prepared without Ag-ZnONPs. The obtained results demonstrated the relatively homogeneous distribution of Ag-ZnONPs on the surface of the prepared films. Besides, this study investigated the antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, and potential applications of Ag/ZnO 0.2@GeL film for wound healing. Ag/ZnO 0.2@GeL film exhibited the highest antibacterial efficacy, with zones of inhibition ranging from 17 to 21 mm against Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, this formulation showed a marked ability to inhibit biofilm formation, completely eradicating bacterial biofilm by day 7. In bacterial growth inhibition assays, Ag/ZnO 0.2@GeL reduced bacterial counts by up to 6 log CFU/mL within 210 min. Biocompatibility was assessed using a Microtox® analyzer, with EC
