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

This study reports the green biosynthesis of bioactive selenium nanoparticles using Catharanthus roseus extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry profiling identified key phytoconstituents, including riboflavin 5'-phosphate and chlorogenic acid, involved in the process. Characterization confirmed successful synthesis: ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy showed an absorption peak at 266 nm, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed spherical particles ranging from 8.6 to 65.6 nm, zeta potential was - 3.55 mV, and X-ray diffraction confirmed crystallinity. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the involvement of phenolic and carboxyl groups. The biosynthesized selenium nanoparticles exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, antiviral action against adenovirus (half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
