Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In this study, we demonstrate the multifunctional property of a nanocomposite (NC) synthesized by combining Ag-doped ZnO with graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. The Ag-ZnO/GO NC works as an efficient photocatalyst to remove methylene blue (MB) dye (a common water pollutant) from water, and functions also as a good sensing material to detect relative humidity (RH) of air. X-ray diffraction confirmed hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure of ZnO whereas scanning and transmission electron microscopies revealed the successful integration of Ag-ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) onto GO sheets forming well-defined NC. The optimized Ag-ZnO/10%GO NC (AZO-10%GO NC) exhibited 98.95% degradation efficiency for MB dye under sunlight within just 40 min, a remarkably improved performance compared to only 82.99% degradation by pure ZnO NPs. Interestingly, the same Ag-ZnO/10%GO NC also exhibits a high sensing response of ~ 406 at 74% RH along with fast response and recovery times of 7 s and 21 s, respectively when tested as a chemi-resistive film to sense RH of air. Thus, this work demonstrates the utility of the Ag-ZnO/10%GO NC for both water and air quality monitoring as it can not only remove organic pollutants from water bodies but also can monitor RH of air.
