Green Synthesis of Ag/AgCl Nanoparticles From Argan Oil Waste: Characterization, Antibacterial, and Cytotoxicity Activities.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Green synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) from biological sources provides a sustainable and biocompatible approach with diverse applications in biomedicine, catalysis, and environmental remediation. In this study, silver/silver chloride nanoparticles (Ag/AgCl-NPs) were synthesized using saponins extracted from argan press cake. The nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The initial indication of nanoparticle formation was a yellow coloration, with a distinct absorption band observed between 400 and 450 nm in the UV-visible spectrum. TEM analysis revealed that the nanoparticles were spherical, with an average diameter of 12.3 ± 7.6 nm. The antibacterial and cytotoxic properties of the Ag/AgCl-NPs were also evaluated. Antibacterial activity was assessed against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria using disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays. In vitro cytotoxicity was tested against MDA-MB-468, MCF-7, and HeLa cancer cell lines. The results demonstrated that the biosynthesized Ag/AgCl-NPs exhibited strong antibacterial activity and moderate cytotoxic effects, indicating their potential for biomedical applications.
