Environmental remediation using silver nanoparticles biosynthesized from agro waste banana and pineapple peels.

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
Synthetic dyes in industrial wastewater pose significant environmental and health risks due to their persistence, toxicity, and resistance to conventional treatment methods. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using agro-waste extracts provides an eco-friendly and sustainable approach for producing efficient nanocatalysts for dye degradation. Although banana peel extract (BPE) and pineapple peel extract (PPE) have been individually explored for AgNPs biosynthesis, systematic direct comparisons under identical conditions are still limited. This study addresses this gap by evaluating BPE and PPE as reducing and stabilizing agents for AgNPs production and assessing their catalytic performance in methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) degradation. Phytochemical analysis showed markedly higher total phenolic content in BPE (8.65 ± 0.51 mg GAE/g dry peel) compared to PPE (0.253 ± 0.01 mg GAE/g). Despite this, PPE-derived AgNPs exhibited smaller crystallite sizes (~ 12.3 nm by XRD) and particle sizes (21.6 ± 7.01 nm by FESEM) than BPE-AgNPs (~ 18.7 nm and 30.99 ± 9.47 nm, respectively). Surface plasmon resonance peaks were observed at 430 nm (BPE-AgNPs) and 450 nm (PPE-AgNPs). Comprehensive characterization using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed crystalline face-centered cubic structures, spherical morphology, and the role of hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amine groups from peel phytochemicals in reduction and capping.
