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

Green nanotechnology offers a sustainable and eco-friendly pathway for large-scale nanoparticle synthesis, minimizing environmental hazards associated with conventional chemical methods. In this study, we report the phyco-synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) using Arthrospira sp., a cyanobacterium enriched with diverse bioactive compounds, as both a reducing and stabilizing agent. Despite extensive exploration of algal mediated nanoparticle synthesis, the biomedical potential of Arthrospira derived FeONPs remains largely underexplored. Here, FeONPs were synthesized via a two-step process involving the reaction of Arthrospira sp. aqueous extract with ferric chloride under optimized conditions, followed by calcination. The resultant FeONPs were comprehensively characterized through ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic surface analysis (DSA), and zeta potential measurements. Biomedical evaluation was performed through multiple in vitro assays, including assessments of antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and cytotoxic activities. The FeONPs exhibited pronounced antioxidant potential (IC
