Lignin-Encapsulated ZnO Nano-Hybrids Exhibit Enhanced Antibacterial and Photocatalytic Activity via ROS-Mediated Oxidative Stress and Bacterial Membrane Disruption.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The sustainable design of multifunctional nanomaterials capable of addressing both biomedical and environmental challenges remains a key frontier in nanotechnology. In this study, we report the green fabrication and biofunctionalization of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using lignin, an abundant and renewable polyphenolic biopolymer, to engineer eco-compatible nanohybrids with enhanced physicochemical stability and biological efficacy. Comprehensive characterization confirmed lignin encapsulation and uniform morphology at the nanoscale. Lignin-ZnO nanohybrids displayed significantly enhanced antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against both
