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 aims to synthesize Simarouba glauca seed-mediated silver nanoparticles (Sg-AgNPs) through an eco-friendly approach and to evaluate their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer efficacy against HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. To characterize biosynthesized Sg-AgNPs' optical properties, functional groups, crystallinity, morphology, particle size, and elemental composition, UV-Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDX were used. Nanoparticles exhibiting a surface plasmon resonance peak at 430 nm and TEM showing 15-60 nm spherical particles. Studies showed considerable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic actions against HepG2 cells, with an IC₅₀ value of 42.7 µg/mL. Sg-AgNPs limit cancer cell growth via oxidative stress and apoptosis. These results demonstrate Simarouba glauca-mediated AgNPs as a durable and physiologically beneficial nanoplatform for hepatocellular carcinoma therapy.
