Biomimetic green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles using Cheilocostus speciosus and Gardenia gummifera with comprehensive characterization and bioactivity assessment.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study presents a green, cost-effective, and eco-friendly approach for synthesizing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using leaf extracts of Cheilocostus speciosus (CS) and Gardenia gummifera (GG) as bio-reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate served as the precursor. The synthesized ZnO NPs were thoroughly characterized using XRD, FT-IR, UV-Vis-IR, XPS, SEM-EDS, and TEM-SAED techniques. XRD analysis confirmed a hexagonal zincite phase, with average crystallite sizes of 22 nm (CS-ZnO) and 25 nm (GG-ZnO). FT-IR spectra confirmed the presence of Zn-O bonds along with phytochemical-derived functional groups. UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy revealed strong absorption around 320-348 nm, with band gap energies of 3.07 eV (CS-ZnO) and 2.74 eV (GG-ZnO), indicating size-dependent quantum confinement. SEM and TEM analyses showed spherical to conical morphology, with particle sizes ranging from 8-50 nm (CS-ZnO) and 18-90 nm (GG-ZnO). XPS confirmed Zn
