Silver Nanoparticles in Antibacterial Research: Mechanisms, Applications, and Emerging Perspectives.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess distinct physicochemical characteristics and demonstrate high antibacterial potential that highlights them as promising alternatives against a wide range of pathogens. The immense antibacterial potential of AgNPs is primarily attributed to the release of silver ions that lead to the disruption of bacterial cell membrane, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibition of protein synthesis and interference with DNA replication. Variations in AgNPs' shape, size, and surface characteristics are also considered key factors determining their effectivity as well as specificity. AgNPs are considered potent antibacterial agents, including against antibiotic- and drug-resistant strains. However, inappropriate dosages or unoptimized application of may result in potential toxicity, consisting one of the main drawbacks of the AgNPs' safer administration. This article reviews the recent literature on the antibacterial potential of AgNPs, focusing on their broad mechanisms of action, applicability, especially in agriculture, biomedical and environmental fields, toxicity and future perspectives.
