Biosynthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles using cyanobacteria, their pharmaceutical and industrial applications.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Nanotechnology has become a fast-growing field, and to prepare metallic nanoparticles for clinics or chemical establishments, it is mandatory that a cost-effective, eco-friendly technique be developed, using all nontoxic and renewable resources. This review presents biogenesis of silver and gold nanoparticles based on the utilization of natural metabolic routes leading to the synthesis of these nanoparticles mediated by cyanobacteria. These photosynthetic microorganisms become highly efficient 'bio-factories', for metal ion reduction and stabilization on the resulting biosynthesis of nanoparticles in a one-step manner. Significant attention has been directed towards the potent antimicrobial potential of these biogenic nanoparticles against numerous pathogenic multidrug resistant bacteria and fungi, as well. Furthermore, this review also provides a summary of recent understanding on mechanisms of their activities, as well as their huge potentialities for use in a variety of industrial/medical sectors, such as cleansing uses, wastewater remediation and industrial utilities as advanced materials. Indeed, the laboratory-scale biosynthesis with an oxygen-evolving photosynthetic prokaryote, the cyanobacterium, is user-friendly, but it could be scaled up for several industrial processes.
