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 investigates lignin as a renewable functional dye capable of simultaneously imparting coloration and multifunctional performance to cotton textiles, with particular emphasis on how chitosan polymorphs influence lignin-mediated silver nanoparticle (AgNP) systems. Cotton fabrics were pretreated with α- or β-chitosan crosslinked with glyoxal and subsequently dyed with lignin in the presence of silver ions to generate lignin-mediated AgNPs. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis showed that α-chitosan retained a higher silver content (40.7 mg/kg) than β-chitosan (14.7 mg/kg). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that α-chitosan produced larger AgNPs (≈13.6 nm), whereas β-chitosan was associated with smaller measurable nanoparticles (≈4.3 nm). Despite lower silver loading, β-chitosan-modified fabrics exhibited higher antibacterial activity against
