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

Background: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well-known for their potent antibacterial properties. However, the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria highlights the need for alternative antimicrobial strategies. Green synthesis using biological molecules offers an eco-friendly route to nanoparticle production. Objective: This study aims to synthesise AgNPs using plant growth hormones (Auxins), specifically indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and to evaluate their antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Methods: AgNPs were synthesised using IAA and IBA as reducing and stabilising agents. The synthesised nanoparticles were characterised by UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Particle Size Analysis, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) for hydrodynamic diameter, Zeta potential for surface charge, and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) for morphological analysis. Antibacterial assays were performed against Results: The IAA and IBA-mediated AgNPs showed controlled size distribution, stability, and uniform morphology. Enhanced antibacterial activity was observed, particularly against Conclusion: IAA and IBA-mediated synthesis provide a green, sustainable method for producing AgNPs with significant antibacterial potential. These Auxin-based AgNPs represent promising candidates for combating antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
