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 work reports an environmentally benign strategy for producing zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflowers from rubber fig (Ficus elastica) leaf extract and assesses their efficacy in sunlight-assisted degradation of levofloxacin. UV-visible spectrum displayed a clear absorption band at 373 nm, characteristic of ZnO nanoparticles. Field-emission scanning electron microscopic images showed flower-like nanostructures, and Fourier transform infrared spectra showed phytochemical functional moieties from the leaf extract that assist nanoparticle formation and stabilize the surface. X-ray diffraction patterns endorsed the crystallinity with a mean crystallite dimension of 44.86 nm and lattice parameters matching the hexagonal wurtzite structure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further verified Zn
