1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 work investigates the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using mixed aqueous extracts of Azadirachta indica leaves and roots as natural reducing and stabilizing agents. The synthesis was optimized by varying extract concentration, pH, and temperature, and nanoparticle formation was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy showing a characteristic surface plasmon resonance between 350 and 450 nm. Structural and morphological analyses {X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR), particle size analysis} revealed predominantly crystalline, spherical AgNPs capped by phytochemicals like flavonoids, phenols, amide- and carbonyl-containing compounds. The phytochemical profile of the extract was further validated by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited strong colorimetric sensing capability for heavy metals, showing noticeable spectral and visible color changes particularly in the presence of Hg
