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

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using Acacia karroo aqueous leaves extract for the first time, as evidenced by a characteristic UV-Vis absorption peak at 424 nm. Spherical morphologies were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with mean diameters determined to be 33 nm. XRD analysis validated the crystalline nature of the nanoparticles, with characteristic peaks at 2θ values of 38.19°, 44.34°, 46.21°, 64.35°, 77.54°, and 81.39° corresponding to the (111), (200), (211), (220), (311), and (222) planes of face-centered cubic silver. Synthesized AgNPs demonstrated moderate anti-Candida albicans and antibacterial properties against the tested strains. Overall, AgNPs-treated Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli showed higher levels of cell leakage, protein content, and malondialdehyde concentrations than untreated cells. Molecular docking studies demonstrated strong interactions between silver and microbial proteins, with the highest binding affinity observed for protein 5NG5, followed by 5BNM and 3HUM.
