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

A crystal, highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost metal-organic framework iron–aluminium-based metal–organic framework composed of Fe³⁺/Al³⁺ nodes coordinated with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (BTC) linkers (Fe–Al@BTC) was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Photoelectrochemical properties of MOF were evaluated employing Mott-Schottky and EIS Measurements. Flat band potential and carrier density were 0.76 V and 1.3 × 1020 cm− 3. The measurements confirmed that Fe-Al@BTC is an n-type semiconductor. It exhibited promising electrochemical properties where charge transfer resistance and double-layer capacitance were observed at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Moreover, at a scan rate of 10 mV/s, the specific capacitance of Fe-Al@BTC MOF from cyclic voltammetry is 339.24 F/g. The structure BTC and MOF were optimized by DFT/ B3LYP 6-31G (d, p) to clarify their physical descriptor and identify their HOMO-LUMO band gap, which was more correlated with Physical and biological results. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of Fe-Al @BTC was evaluated by optical density measurements and the cut plug method. It showed remarkable inhibition of bacterial growth by 100% at a concentration of 600 mg\L. Moreover, a molecular docking study of Fe-Al @BTC was performed to understand molecular interaction with Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 protein and its reactivity. Our results indicate that Fe-Al @BTC is a promising candidate for energy and environmental applications.
