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

In this work, Zn-Co@BTC was synthesized under environmentally friendly, economical, and green conditions. It was prepared by the solvothermal method using zinc nitrate hexahydrate and cobalt nitrate hexahydrate as the metals, with benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (BTC) as the ligand. The formation of Zn-Co@BTC MOF was confirmed by Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Transmission electron microscopy. It exhibited high thermal stability, a large surface area, and strong antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity was evaluated against the Bacillus cereus strain identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing using optical density measurements and the cut plug method. The results showed remarkable antibacterial activity, achieving near-complete bacterial growth inhibition (99.9%) at 600 mg/L and complete inhibition (100%) at a concentration of 800 mg/L. These findings support the potential use of Zn-Co@BTC MOF as an antibacterial agent in biomedical applications.
