Tunable Nanoeffect of ZnO on the Properties of Poly(hydroxybutyrate) Membranes.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Polymeric membranes composed of poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) integrated with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) or quantum dots (ZnO QDs) were successfully prepared by using a sol-gel method for nanostructure dispersion. The resulting PHB/ZnO membranes exhibited uniform morphology and fluorescence with well-dispersed nanostructures confirmed by UV-vis spectrophotometry, fluorescence analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy. Spectral analysis revealed that ZnO NPs and QDs enhanced UV-blocking capabilities and reduced the level of membrane yellowing. Physicochemical evaluations showed that the fluorescence remained stable under prolonged water vapor exposure. Increasing the ZnO content (5, 10, and 15%) led to higher membrane density, wettability, and hardness. Swelling and water vapor permeability (WVP) tests indicated that ZnO QDs were the most effective in reducing moisture diffusion, suggesting the formation of internal barriers. Despite increased surface hydrophilicity, WVP decreased, highlighting the dual functionality of the nanostructures. Antibacterial assays demonstrated inhibition of
